Grong

Grong is Trøndelag’s inland adventurer - a municipality where salmon leap through waterfalls, skis carve down alpine slopes, and hang gliders launch from mountaintops. With around 2,300 residents and a landscape shaped by rivers, forests, and fjell farms, Grong is the kind of place where you can hike past Iron Age burial mounds, fish the “Queen of Rivers,” and still catch a concert in a 19th-century barn. It’s got spruce, saga, and a salmon ladder longer than a football field.

Getting There

Grong sits in the Namdalen valley, with the E6 highway and Nordlandsbanen railway running through town. The village of Mediå is the administrative center, and buses connect to Namsos, Steinkjer, and Mosjøen. The area is best explored by car, boots, or fishing boat - especially if you’re chasing waterfalls, wild salmon, or spruce-scented solitude.
