Trysil
Trysil is Innlandet’s ski-sculpted adventure basin — a municipality where dog sleds dash through pine forests, bike tires carve mountain trails, and two silver ski poles rise across the coat of arms. With around 6,500 residents and a landscape shaped by the Trysilelva River, Trysilfjellet, and the villages of Innbygda, Østby, Nybergsund, and Ljørdalen, Trysil is the kind of place where you can hike past timber cabins, explore ski history, and still sip spruce tea beside a slope that hosted the world’s first official ski race. It’s got powder, pine, and a name that may stem from Trya — “quiet stretch of river.”

Getting There
Trysil lies in Østerdalen near the Swedish border, with Innbygda as its administrative center. The area is best explored by boots, bike, or bold curiosity — especially if you’re chasing ski echoes, husky lore, or the hush of pine needles beside a river carved by snowmelt.
