Autumn in Trøndelag

Unique accommodations

Trøndelag is home to a great number of unique accommodations: from cabins in treetops to glass igloos, farm houses and even in a train over a salmon river.

If you are lucky, you could even witness the Northern Lights dancing over you during the darker hours of the day during autumn.

Musk ox adventures on Dovrefjell

On the mountains of Dovrefjell, you can find one of the world’s rarest animals – and possibly the rarest in Norway: the musk ox. With only 200-300 musk ox estimated to be living in Norway, the chances of seeing them while driving might not be the largest – though with an experienced guide, or a hike through the mountains, the chances significantly increase.

Keep your distance though, as the musk ox is faster than most imagine and very territorial.

Visit the UNESCO town of Røros

A UNESCO World Heritage town, and a gem for history lovers: meet Røros. With its rich history and delicious local food, Røros is a pleasant surprise to many visitors.

Behold the sight of the Nidaros Cathedral

A landmark, and one of the most recognizable places in Norway – you might have heard of the Nidaros Cathedral.

Located in Trondheim, the cathedral (locally known as “Nidarosdomen”) has stood for nearly a thousand years and is not only known for its corronation history, nor the fact that it is the northernmost pilgrim destination in the whole world – but also due to its ties to Saint Olav and the battle at Stiklestad.

Climb your way up the towers and enjoy the 360 degrees view.

Visit the place of Norway’s most important Viking Age battle

The battle at Stiklestad, and Stiklestad itself, are decisive parts of the Viking Age in Norway – and shaped Norway into the way it is today.

From the stories of Saint Olav to its ties to the Nidaros Cathedral and pilgrimages that have happened for a 1,000 years – visit Stiklestad to explore the stories of the past.

Taste local food along the Golden Road

The Golden Road is located on Inderøy, just under 2 hours north of Trondheim, and is a collection of local food and drinks producers, art galleries and accommodations.

With each local food producer having their own shops and experiences – the Golden Road is for those that want to enjoy great food with amazing scenery.

Visit a paradise for people that love being outdoors: Namdalen

Namdalen has long been known to be a paradise for those that love nature and outdoor life.
