Os is Innlandet’s mountain-framed heritage basin - a municipality where cowbells echo through alpine valleys, rose-painted farmhouses line riverbanks, and stylized bells ring proudly on the coat of arms. With around 1,900 residents and a landscape shaped by the Glomma River, Hummelfjell peak, and the villages of Narjordet, Dalsbygda, and Tufsingdalen, Os is the kind of place where you can hike past glacier-carved eskers, explore schoolhouse museums, and still catch a husky ride beside a stave-style railway stop. It’s got folklore, fjells, and a name that means “river mouth.”

Getting There

Os lies along County Road 30, about 15 minutes from Røros and its airport. Buses serve Narjordet, Tufsingdalen, and Dalsbygda. The Rørosbanen railway line passes nearby, and hiking trails connect to Forollhogna National Park. The area is best explored by boots, skis, or bold curiosity - especially if you’re chasing bell echoes, rose-painting lore, or the hush of birch leaves beside a schoolhouse museum.
