Enchanting Røros is a small town with a vibrant culture and compelling history. The town was once the site of a bustling copper works, and an interesting museum and mine tour recount the developments over time. You can walk or in wintertime sled – through the streets and admire the rare concentration of centuries-old wooden houses and buildings. The region’s mountain farms yield excellent produce and Røros has become a well regarded center for locally produced food in Norway. Each meal or snack is an opportunity to sample truly local food. The exclusive meats and award-winning cheeses are particularly remarkable. Trondheim was an important settlement during the Viking Age and remained the capital of Norway until 1217. Today the compact city features landmarks such as Nidaros Cathedral and the wooden buildings of Bakklandet. Take a boat ride and explore the historic Munkholmen Island in the Trondheimsfjord. Bymarka, the city forest, is just a tram ride or short drive away.

In Røros, check into Røros Hotell and wander the town’s colorful streets. In wintertime, borrow one of the hotel’s free kicksleds, called a “spark”, to try out a popular local form of transport. The iconic church is considered one of the country’s most important religious buildings, with few changes since its construction in the 18th century, and its tower can be seen throughout town. With a cosy and friendly atmosphere, Røros Hotell is an easy place to relax after a day exploring. A modern wellness center is a distinctive treat. Inside, encased by calming concrete and glass, is a 27-meter pool, hot tub, and sauna. A step outside sits another inviting hot tub and heated pool.

In the evening, it's time to find your way to Vertshuset Røros, where you will be served 4-course dinner. The chef and his staff take inspiration from local quality ingredients and conjure up gourmet meals with clear inspiration from the food traditions and food culture of Røros

Before departure the next day, be sure to sample more local meats and cheeses with homemade bread at the abundant breakfast buffet. Then, take some time to delve into the intriguing local history before the 2.5 hour drive to Trondheim. Røros was once an important center for copper mining and the industry has left a significant mark on the area. Today, the town and parts of the surrounding landscape are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Kaffestuggu is Røros’ oldest café and once again, local products like reindeer punctuate the menu. For a tasty souvenir, the supermarkets stock many regional specialties including flatbread, dairy products, and sausages. See more activities in Røros here.
