Røros Municipality, Mountain municipality in Trøndelag, Norway
Located on a plateau 628 meters above sea level, Røros Municipality extends across forests of birch and pine trees near Aursund lake and Glåma river.
The copper mining operations, starting in 1644 and continuing until 1977, transformed this area into a central economic hub for Norwegian mineral extraction.
The municipality contains over 80 preserved wooden buildings arranged around courtyards, earning recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980.
The annual Rørosmartnan market takes place during the last week of February, bringing together 70,000 visitors to experience local products and traditions.
The region records some of southern Norway's lowest temperatures, with winter readings reaching minus 50.3 degrees Celsius, influencing local architecture and daily life.
