Discover Oppdal

Welcome to Oppdal – the mountain village where adventure meets tranquillity. Nestled between Dovrefjell and Trollheimen, this vibrant destination offers magnificent nature, authentic mountain culture and year-round activities.


Mountains, nature and experiences


Oppdal sits where Dovrefjell and Trollheimen meet – an area known for its mighty landscapes, fresh mountain air and endless hiking opportunities. Take the gondola up to Skjørstadhovden for panoramic views of the valley, follow well-marked trails, or simply enjoy the tranquillity of a mountain cabin. The region is also famous for its musk oxen on Dovrefjell – one of the few places in the world where you can see these majestic animals in their natural habitat. In the town centre, you’ll find cosy shops, cafés and restaurants, and a welcoming local community that combines outdoor life, culture and hospitality.


Winter and summer in the mountains


When winter arrives, Oppdal transforms into one of Norway’s largest and most versatile ski resorts, offering over 50 kilometres of groomed slopes spread across four mountains. Here, you’ll find everything from family-friendly runs to challenging freeride areas and terrain parks. The cross-country trails stretch for miles through valleys and mountains, offering nature experiences for both beginners and seasoned skiers. In summer, the mountains open up for cycling, rafting, climbing and hiking in spectacular surroundings. A visit to the Vang burial site – Norway’s largest collection of Viking Age burial mounds – provides a fascinating glimpse into the area’s history. You can also explore Oppdal Museum, with more than 20 historic buildings, and learn about the mountain culture that has shaped the region through the centuries.


Restaurant, relax and conference


In Oppdal, you can savour flavours from the mountains and valleys at local restaurants, served in a relaxed setting with mountain views and a touch of local charm. After a day of outdoor adventure, few things compare to unwinding in the relaxation area – with dry and steam saunas offering peace and renewal for body and mind. For meetings and events, modern conference facilities provide an inspiring setting where work and relaxation go hand in hand, surrounded by the beauty of the mountains.
