Gauldal

Valleys

Gauldal, also called Gauldalen, is a valley and traditional district in Trøndelag county, Norway, through which the river Gaula runs for about 145 kilometers from the mountains near Røros to the Trondheimsfjorden. The valley is narrow between Røros and the Haltdalen area, then widens and turns west toward the village of Støren before turning north again to become a wide agricultural valley reaching the sea just south of Trondheim. The Rørosbanen and Dovrebanen railway lines, the European route E6 highway and Norwegian County Road 30 all follow the valley on their way to Trondheim.
