Fossheim is centrally located in Lom, a natural base and starting point for the many attractions this area has to offer. The semiprecious stone centre is both fascinating and instructive and semi-precious stones are on sale. The centre also holds courses in stone grinding, and cookery and wine courses are held regularly at the hotel. A short walk from Fossheim you will find the magnificent wooden Stave Church which dates back to the year 1170. The Norwegian Mountain Museum, the Local Museum and other attractions are also nearby.

In Holo they sell stone art of all types: framed sheets of stone, decorative stone and light fountains. We have a large selection of fossils – remains from a long-ago world.

Fossheim is a superb starting point for mountain hikes and tours to the fjords. The road past the hotel gate branches off in Lom to Stryn and Geiranger leading to the most famous fjords on the west coast. The other road towards the west leads to the beautiful valley of Bøverdalen, the Jotunheimen mountains and Galdhøpiggen, Norway's highest peak, across the Sognefjell mountains and Fanaråken and down to the Sognefjord.
