WINTER

In Trøndelag you often meet people with their clothes covered in snow and their hats at a jaunty angle. That's probably because they have just come from a sledding hill or have been ice fishing. Well, maybe not all of them, but it's not because of a lack of opportunities. With some of Norway's best skiing facilities, and hundreds of miles of cross-country trails, Trøndelag is a paradise for winter enthusiasts.

Panting and with tongues flapping, six dogs race up the hill. Your heart pounds at the break-neck speed and at the same time you find yourself wanting more. Dog-sledding in Trøndelag’s winter landscape is an unmissable experience.

Have you ever dreamed of sleeping among wolves, visiting a bear in the den and sharing your breakfast with an arctic fox? Then Namsskogan Family Park should be top of your list on your next hunt for adventures.

Five days in February the fantastic city of Røros is invaded by 75,000 visitors, and transformed into an anthill of sounds, smells, tastes and evocative moments.
