Fjellseter Gråkallen

A pleasant excursion from Trondheim is on the Fjellsetervei to the Fjellseter (367m/1,204ft; skiing area, ski-jump), 8km/5mi west of the city. From here there is a path (15minutes) to the summit of Gråkallen (556m/1,824ft), from which there are views of much of the Trondheimfjord, extending east to the mountains along the Swedish frontier and south to Snøhetta and the Trollheim hills.

The hill can also be reached on the Gråkallen electric railroad from St Olavsgata, or by bus from Dronningensgata to Lian (30minutes; alt. 272m/892ft), continuing on foot by way of the Fjellseter and Skistua to Gråkallen (a pleasant walk, 2-2.5 hours there and back).
