For downhill skiing and snowboarders, Oppdal Skisenter offers the region’s best slopes. The nearby National Parks are great for cross-country skiers, with marked trails criss-crossing the parks in all directions. The slopes have seen better days although the town itself has been spruced up with recent improvements to its central shopping area. The main major ski resort within easy reach of Trondheim, Oppdal is an easy 120km drive south of the city along the E6 highway. It’s around a 10-minute uphill walk from the station and you have to make your way through a small forested area to reach the carvings.
However, if you have some time to spare, follow the signs to ‘Helleristninger’ to see a couple of rock carvings that are believed to date back to the Stone Age. After that, there's not a great deal to do in this residential community beyond the small shopping centre or the walk to the airport. Whenever a train comes, a couple of tourists can usually be spotted getting off and taking a photograph by some of the old railway station signs. I bet you can't guess… yep, it's the name! Less than a mile south of Trondheim Airport Værnes, the village of Hell is a popular tourist draw for one curious reason. This unique stave church-inspired building was a star attraction at the 1893 Chicago World Fair, and has only recently been brought back to Norway and refurbished to its former glory. The Norway Building is another notable sight in Orkanger. Otherwise, starting in Orkanger gives you just under three hours to explore Løkken before the return journey. The train has a 20-minute turnaround in Orkanger. If you're just interested in the rail journey itself, drive to Løkken and start from there. A big attraction here is the Thamshavnbanen heritage railway. Don't drive? There's also a regular bus service. A short drive south of Trondheim is the industrial town Orkanger.
