Malvik is Trøndelag’s fjord-fringed retreat - a municipality where forest trails lead to waterfalls, manor houses whisper 18th-century tales, and coastal villages shimmer beside the Trondheim fjord. With around 14,800 residents and a landscape shaped by Homla river, Malvikåsen ridge, and the shoreline of Trondheimsfjorden, Malvik is the kind of place where you can hike past salmon pools, kayak through misty coves, and still catch a reindeer kebab beside a candlelit café. It’s got nature, nostalgia, and a name that may stem from Old Norse *Manvík* - “mane inlet.”

Where to Stay in Malvik
Getting There
Malvik lies just east of Trondheim, with Hommelvik as its administrative center. The E6 highway and Nordlandsbanen railway connect to Trondheim and Stjørdal, and buses run to Vikhammer, Hundhammeren, and Muruvika. The area is best explored by boots, bike, or boat - especially if you’re chasing fjord reflections, ironworks echoes, or the hush of birch leaves beside a salmon stream.
