The Legacy of the Highlands: The Story of Glåmosen Water
Where History Meets the Silence of Nature
Most know Røros as the "Mining Town"—a place carved out of copper ore, sweat, and fire. Since 1644, these streets have stood as a symbol of human resilience in the face of nature’s harshest forces. But behind the famous slag heaps and the iconic timber houses lies another, quieter story. It is the story of the water that has flowed undisturbed through the mountain bedrock for millennia.
While the miners labored deep within the earth to extract "the red gold" (copper), the nature of the neighboring village, Gåmosen, was crafting its own liquid treasure. Far removed from the dust of the mine shafts and the bustle of the town, the landscape of Glåmosen has remained a sanctuary. Here, amidst moss-covered barrens and weather-beaten birch trees, the water begins its long, silent journey.
Nature’s Own Laboratory
Our water is not a product of modern industry; it is a product of time. As the winter snow melts across the Røros highlands, the water seeps slowly through deep layers of quartz sand and moraine—remnants from the last Ice Age. This natural filtration process is relentless: every impurity is strained away, while the essential minerals that give the water its unique character and crisp mouthfeel are preserved.
By the time the water reaches our spring in Gåmosen, it has achieved a level of clarity and freshness that is rare in the modern world. It is water that carries the stillness of the peaks and the raw power of the Norwegian climate.
From Spring to Bottle – Without Shortcuts
For us, this isn't just about bottling water; it’s about stewardship. We tap the water directly from the source in Glåmosen. We change nothing, and we add nothing. Our mission is simply to ensure that the same freshness found at the mountain spring reaches you, exactly as nature intended.
Today, the Røros region is world-renowned for its local food culture and uncompromising quality. By sourcing our water from Gåmosen, we are writing a new chapter in this tradition. We bridge the gap between the rich industrial history of the UNESCO World Heritage site and the pristine purity of the surrounding wilderness.
A Taste of the Authentic
When you hold a bottle of our water, you are holding a piece of the Røros highlands' soul. It is the taste of freezing winter nights, endless summer days, and a landscape that has withstood the test of time.
We invite you to taste the difference—a taste of history, a taste of Glåmosen.
