Oppdal

Oppdal (alt. 545m/1,790ft, pop. 3,500) lies in a wider part of Sunndal valley at an important junction where Road 16 branches off E 6 (Dombås-Trondheim) and leads west. Here the Ålma, coming from the east, flows into the Driva. Oppdal is a considerable tourist resort and winter sports center, with a chair-lift and several ski-tows, as well as more than 75km/45mi of cross-country ski trails. There is an interesting district museum, with old houses, store-houses (stabbur) and other exhibits.
