Bymarka & Gråkallen
Bymarka, Gråkallen
A large forest and lake area bordering the city's west side, reached by tram for hiking, and a cross-country skiing paradise in winter.
Bymarka is an urban forest covering about 80 square kilometres west of Trondheim, with lakes, bogs and hundreds of kilometres of trails and ski tracks. The classic outing is to ride the Gråkallen line, said to be the world's northernmost tram, to its terminus at Lindrud, then walk about an hour up to the 552-metre summit of Gråkallen for views over the city and the fjord. You can also stroll and swim by Lianvatnet. In winter this is a playground for Norwegian cross-country skiers. There is a café hut on the mountain where you can rest.
