Welcome to Christmas in the Røros region
In the darkest time of the year, the Christmas lights in the Røros region are lit. Streets and houses, cottages and trees are adorned with thousands of twinkling Christmas lights. The temperature creeps steadily down the scale, and to create the perfect Christmas atmosphere, a white, soft blanket lays over forests, fields and buildings. This lovely, frozen time brings Christmas peace.

NEWS ABOUT ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS FROM DESTINATION RØROS.
There is this saying: Norwegians are born with skis on their feet.
Did you know there is a cycle path all the way from Alvdal to Røros?
The landscape in the Røros region is full of the exciting cultural remains of a mining industry that lasted for 333 years. Traces of the life and work of the people who lived here are literally lying around waiting for you to discover them.
This is Destination Røros
Destination Røros stretches from Nord-Østerdalen in Hedmark county to the southernmost part of Trøndelag county and also borders on Sweden. The Forollhogna and Femundsmarka National Parks surround one of Norway’s most exciting areas of natural and cultural history.
HISTORY AND CULTURE
This mining town began to take form in 1644, when the first copper ore was extracted on the mountain plateau. Among the people trying to survive in the mountains with its unforgiving winters, were the indigenous people of Scandinavia, the Sámi.
Today, the small town of Røros is almost like a living museum, as the town centre with its authentic wooden structures has many listed buildings.
