Where to stay in Trøim
Most beds in Trøim gather in and around the small centre of the village, where a handful of guest rooms and holiday lodgings stand within reach of the road through this corner of north-western Buskerud. The centre is the natural base. It suits visitors who want a quiet stop in the high country of south-eastern Norway and an easy start to the valleys around.
Rooms here are few. Away from the centre, holiday cabins and rural rooms spread across the surrounding farms and slopes, a choice for walkers and skiers drawn to the uplands of the Østlandet region above the village. Stock thins quickly in the outlying ground.
Travellers touring the mountains of Buskerud by car will find Trøim a handy halt on the long roads through the highlands. Reserve well ahead in the busy seasons, when the cabins of this part of south-eastern Norway fill with visitors to the surrounding hills.
About Trøim
What is Trøim known for?
Trøim sits in the north-western part of Buskerud, in the upland country of south-eastern Norway. It is a small place. The village serves as a local centre for the scattered farms and holiday cabins of its municipality, a quiet base in the high valleys where roads from the lowland climb toward the mountains of the Østlandet region.
Travellers know Trøim mainly as a stop on the way through the western highlands of Buskerud rather than as a destination in itself.
What are the main landmarks in Trøim?
Trøim has no single famous monument. The draw is the upland country itself. The village looks out on the high valleys and slopes of north-western Buskerud, where forest, farm and open mountain make the setting rather than any one built landmark of the Østlandet region.
Walkers and skiers come for the hills around the village, and the roads that climb from the lowland carry travellers through this part of south-eastern Norway toward the higher ground beyond Trøim.
What is the history of Trøim?
Trøim grew as a farming settlement in the high valleys of north-western Buskerud. People worked the slopes and the narrow strips of level ground for generations, and the village formed where the scattered farms of the district drew together into a small centre of the upland country of south-eastern Norway. Life here was hard.
The mountains shaped the work and the seasons, and the community held to farming and the keeping of livestock on the higher ground above the lowland. In a later age the roads opened the valleys. Travellers and holidaymakers reached the highlands of the Østlandet region more easily, and Trøim took on its place as a stop and a base on the way through the mountains of Buskerud.
The cabins and lodgings followed the visitors who came for the hills and the snow, and the village kept its quiet role as a local centre for the farms and holiday ground of this corner of south-eastern Norway.
Where is Trøim?
Trøim lies in the north-western part of Buskerud, in south-eastern Norway (Østlandet). The village sits in the high valley country where the land rises from the lowland toward the mountains, forest and farm clinging to the slopes around the small centre. Mountains close in on every side.
The upland of north-western Buskerud reaches across the surrounding district, taking in the scattered farms and cabins whose ground runs up from the village into the open hills of the Østlandet region above.
What is the climate of Trøim?
Trøim has the cold mountain climate of the high valleys of Buskerud. Winters are long and snowy, the cold settling deep over the upland of north-western Buskerud through the dark months while the snow lies on the slopes well into the spring of the highland year. Summers are short and cool.
The long northern daylight warms the valley and brings walkers to the hills around the village, though the high ground of the Østlandet region keeps a sharp edge to the air even in the warm season of this part of south-eastern Norway.
How do you get to Trøim?
Most travellers reach Trøim by road. The mountain roads through north-western Buskerud carry the traffic up from the lowland to the village, climbing through forest and high valley to the small centre. The drive is a long one.
Buses serve the route across the highlands on the way through the district, while drivers bound for the surrounding farms and cabins follow the local lanes that thread the slopes, the usual way of reaching this corner of south-eastern Norway and the uplands of the Østlandet region.
