Engerdal is Østerdalen’s wild whisper - a municipality in Innlandet where pine forests stretch for days, reindeer roam freely, and the Constitution once hid from invading Germans. With around 1,300 residents and more lakes than lampposts, Engerdal is a place where nature rules, history lingers, and the moose are always watching. It’s Norway’s southernmost reindeer herding district, and home to two national parks, one steamship, and one very famous ski champion.

Where to Stay in Engerdal
Getting There
Engerdal is tucked between Trysil and Røros, with roads winding through forests and past lakes like Isteren and Galtsjøen. The village of Drevsjø is the main hub, and Elgå is the southern gateway to Femundsmarka. No trains, no airport - just scenic drives, steamships, and the occasional moose crossing.
