Day 1: The adventure starts in Røros
Røros is a small town with a vibrant culture and fascinating history. Once home to a bustling copper works, the town’s past comes to life at the local museum and on guided mine tours. Stroll through the charming streets—or in winter, glide along on a traditional kicksled, known locally as a spark—and admire the rare concentration of centuries-old wooden houses.
The surrounding mountain farms provide outstanding produce, making Røros one of Norway’s leading centers for locally sourced food. Every meal is an opportunity to taste something truly regional, from exclusive meats to award-winning cheeses.
Don’t miss a visit to the town’s iconic 18th-century church, one of Norway’s most significant religious landmarks. With its original character largely intact and its tower visible across the town, it remains a striking symbol of Røros.
