Trøndelag is the perfect place to master the noble art of kos!
But what is kos?
Kos = Norwegian comfort at its best – preferably surrounded by beautiful nature!
The region's capital, Trondheim, is the true capital of kos and Home of Nordic flavours! Explore the charming old town, enjoy the charming cafes, and experience a city with a close connection to nature.
Be sure to visit the Nidaros Cathedral, a stunning Gothic masterpiece and one of Norway’s most important landmarks. As the final destination of the St. Olav’s Way, it is a place of deep historical and spiritual significance.
The Trøndelag region, which includes Trondheim, is considered one of Norway's premier food destinations and was named European Region of Gastronomy in 2022.
From world-class dishes at Michelin-starred restaurants Speilsalen and Fagn, to fresh seafood, including Hitra crab and Frøya scallops, the area offers a rich food scene with lots of tasty local dishes with which to indulge.
Take a tasty detour along The Golden Road in Inderøy, an idyllic peninsula just off the E6 highway, only 2 hours north of Trondheim.
This route features over 20 small-scale destinations, each offering a first-rate culinary and cultural experience, including the Øyna Cultural Landscape Hotel.
Stop by Gangstad Gårdsysteri to sample award-winning cheeses, meet local farmers, and savour the flavours of rural Trøndelag.
Røros is also a top destination for foodies, with a unique mix of traditional flavours and modern creations. A UNESCO World Heritage site, this charming mining town is known for its well-preserved wooden houses and rich history.
Trøndelag’s seven national parks and two nature reserves provide endless opportunities for hiking, fishing, and foraging.
Dovrefjell National Park is one of only five places in the world where the rare musk ox roams.
Pro tip: This photo was taken with a long lens! Musk oxen should always be admired from a safe distance. For your safety and theirs, it's a must to go with a guide — they know how to keep both you and the oxen safe and happy.
If you want to get away from the tourist trail, Trøndelag's coastline is a hidden gem. Visit stunning islands, charming coastal towns, and explore the rich cultural heritage.
It’s the perfect spot for fishing and outdoor adventures.
It's also home to the coolest beach bar in the north, at Stokkøya Beach Hotel in Fosen.
Trøndelag is also an angler's paradise, with world-class salmon rivers like Namsen and numerous seaside resorts that rent out boats and equipment along the coast.
Stay in a unique fisherman’s cabin or onboard an old retro train on the Namsen River Bridge.
Trøndelag is also the starting point of the Kystriksveien Coastal Road, stretching from Steinkjer to Bodø, named one of the world's most beautiful drives.
