Trollheimen

Trollheimen is a mountain range on the border between Nordmøre and Trøndelag. The area is known for its varied and fertile landscape with lots of different plants and animals.

It has a rich history and is still used for grazing, reindeer herding, hunting and fishing. The heart of Trollheimen is a landscape conservation area.

An area that is not to be missed

Norway has a lot of mountain ranges. There is Dovre, the symbol of Norway’s imperishability, and Jotunheimen with its giants from Norse mythology, but the magical giant pines of Trollheimen have made an equally powerful mark on Norwegian folklore. Even the most rational souls can be overcome by superstition when they enter this mountain realm. The heart of the trolls’ realm, where seven valleys meet, lies in the depths of Folldalen. The valley and mountain range are watched over by ‘The Emperor’ and ‘The King’, Snota and Trollhetta. The former is a sharp-pointed nunatak that has never been humbled by ice, while the latter is a rounded and apparently innocuous peak. Until, that is, you discover the 500-metre precipice with its vertical drop into the ‘troll’s eye’, a thick ice floe that covers and floats on the Litjhelvete, or ‘Little Hell’, tarn.

Trollheimen has all sorts of activities and great experiences to offer.
