My beautiful hometown in Norway
Tourists flock to Trondheim in the summer when it never seems to get really dark and you can stroll down the peaceful streets of the city to sample some of the wide variety of its nightlife ...
But Trondheim is a great place to visit other times of the year as well. In December the Christmas lights and the large Christmas tree in the town square light the way for the busy shoppers as darkness descends early in the afternoon. You'll find many interesting events in the middle of winter too. We have even been known to dump snow into the town square to hold "ski jumping" and Telemark skiing competitions!When the time of year with the short days and long nights arrives, our fondness for candles is very evident in the warm, welcoming glow from the many cosy restaurants, pubs and clubs.
Before spring has fully blossomed in the city, the snow in the surrounding mountains is still packed and ready for the avid skier. With a late Easter you might even be able to strip down to a T shirt and ski under a bright warm sun. You can try your hand at cross country skiing or take to the alpine slopes at Vassfjellet near Trondheim.
In May flowers are blooming, the trees are budding their leaves and you can feel spring virtually exploding all around you.
Summer brings beaches, boats, fishing, swimming and walks in the surrounding hills or an interesting stroll down the peaceful streets by the quaint old buildings of this 1000-year old city.
Being on the perimeter of the westerly-wind belt, Trondheim has a mild climate considering how close we are to the polar circle. Through the winter the climate is affected by the Gulf Stream, which kindly warms the air along the coast. So our winters are usually mild, with a fair share of precipitation. This gives us snow cover for approximately 70 to 100 days a year. And as we like to say, up in the ski areas in Bymarka, we just love the snow.
