Opportunities for mining and farming in Røros created a unique mountain settlement – a man-made wonder, with an exceptional cultural value. This has earned Røros a place on the Unesco World Heritage List.
Housing a large collection of well-preserved wooden buildings, Røros has an active and growing community all living and working in the middle of a world heritage site. Strolling down the streets of Røros, you can practically hear the whispers of history.
The town centre hosts a thriving arts and crafts community, with workshops, quaint little boutiques and good cafés and restaurants all offering local specialities. This region is well renowned for its excellent produce.
