Why choose to live and work in Snåsa?

In addition to the medical aspect, Snåsa offers great natural experiences and rich cultural history. Nature is easily accessible, with more than 25% of Snåsa being protected as a national park.

With nearly one square kilometer of national park per inhabitant, there are endless opportunities for fishing, hunting, and fantastic hiking terrain. You can hike for hours, cycle, or simply take a detour from the county road. Nature is there, waiting for you!

Snåsa is the center for the Southern Sami population, language, and culture, and in many ways, is a Southern Sami “capital” in Norway. Blåfjella-Skjækerfjella National Park has been a central Southern Sami area. The Sami people have used the area for hundreds of years, and remnants of old settlements, gathering places, burial sites, and sacred places can still be seen today. Reindeer husbandry remains an important part of Sami culture, and there are two reindeer herding districts within the national park.

Living in Snåsa means being part of a local community where people see and care for each other. Here, you can visit your neighbor uninvited, and your engagement is crucial for the community. Snåsa has a varied range of shops, cafes and cultural activities. There is an active sports community in the village, and a lot of activity in music and performing arts. Many of Snåsa’s children and youth attend the Snåsa Cultural School.

If you move to Snåsa, we can assure you that there are good job opportunities and ample capacity in schools and kindergartens for other family members. There are also pleasant housing prices in the area.

The road to Namsos, Steinkjer or Trondheim is not far, with both the E6 highway and the Nordland railway passing through Snåsa. By car it’s approx. 2 hours from Snåsa to Værnes Airport.

We understand that moving to a new country requires a lot in terms of travel, relocation and language learning, but we will assist you and your family in making the transition as smooth as possible!
