Skarvan and Roltdalen National Park is situated between Neadalføret and Stjørdalsføret and it contains within its boundaries mountain plateaus, wooded valleys and extensive marshy areas. It is an area that has remained untouched by major technological development, such as power transmission lines or roads. Roltdalen is the largest wooded valley in the Sør-Trøndelag region without any roads.

Rissa - with the wind in your sails

This is where you can sail a «fembøringen», a clinker-built boat that has been in use for more than a thousand years and is one of the fastest traditional boats anywhere along the coast of Norway.

Ørland - where nature creates works of art

Artists have always tried to capture the incredible interplay between the sea, the sky and sunlight at Ørland. Few have succeeded. For in the flat, vigorous landscape surrounded by the sea on three sides and with the wide vault of heaven where the clouds never seem to rest, nature itself is the artist that is constantly creating new paintings.
