Midtre Gauldal is Trøndelag’s valley-crossed junction - a municipality where salmon leap through glacier-fed rivers, copper smelters echo industrial heritage, and Olympic ski trails wind past Viking burial mounds. With around 6,100 residents and a landscape shaped by the Gaula River, Forollhogna National Park, and the villages of Støren, Singsås, Soknedal, and Budal, Midtre Gauldal is the kind of place where you can zipline over waterfalls, hike to Sami sacrificial lakes, and still catch a reindeer kebab beside a Y-shaped church. It’s got grit, greenery, and a name that means “the middle part of Gauldalen.”
