Roros was founded in the 1600s, making it one of the oldest towns in Norway. Located in the northeast of the country, it has a spectacular setting amidst alpine lakes and forests. Its collection of wooden houses are the original cottages allocated to copper mine workers in the 17th and 18th centuries and have earned the town UNESCO World Heritage Status.

Explore the village’s mining past with a tour of its heritage museums and a visit to the ancient Olavsgruva Mine and magnificent Roros Church. Finished in 1784, this enormous octagonal building can seat up to 1600 people. Roughly 50 kilometres from Roros lies Femundsmarka National Park – a wilderness of glittering lakes and forests that lends itself to hiking, kayaking, fishing and skiing.
