TORPO
Don't be surprised if you hear someone playing the fiddle through an open window as you take a stroll through Torpo. Or, maybe even more likely, you’re biking. This small village is a hub for folk music and dance in Norway, continuously fostering new talents. But while Torpo takes pride in its rich traditions, it looks just as much to the future as it does to the past.
