[**Oppdal**](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/7/7d/Oppdal.ogg/Oppdal.ogg.mp3)[ⓘ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oppdal.ogg) is a [municipality](/source/List_of_municipalities_of_Norway) in [Trøndelag](/source/Tr%C3%B8ndelag) [county](/source/Counties_of_Norway), Norway. It is part of the [Dovre region](/source/Dovre_region). The [administrative centre](/source/Administrative_centre) of the municipality is the [village of Oppdal](/source/Oppdal_(village)). Other villages in the municipality include [Lønset](/source/L%C3%B8nset), [Vognillan](/source/Vognillan), [Fagerhaugen](/source/Fagerhaugen), and [Holan](/source/Driva%2C_Tr%C3%B8ndelag). The [Oppdal Airport, Fagerhaug](/source/Oppdal_Airport%2C_Fagerhaug) is located in the northeastern part of the municipality.

The 2,274-square-kilometre (878 sq mi) municipality is the 24th largest by area out of the 357 municipalities in Norway. Oppdal Municipality is the 139th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 7,389. The municipality's [population density](/source/Population_density) is 3.2 inhabitants per square kilometre (8.3/sq mi) and its population has increased by 8.4% over the previous 10-year period.[5][6]

## General information

Oppdal is situated where two valleys meet, surrounded by mountains.

The [prestegjeld](/source/Prestegjeld) of Oppdal was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see [formannskapsdistrikt](/source/Formannskapsdistrikt) law). The municipal boundaries have not changed since that time.[7] On 1 January 2018, the municipality switched from the old [Sør-Trøndelag](/source/S%C3%B8r-Tr%C3%B8ndelag) county to the new [Trøndelag](/source/Tr%C3%B8ndelag) county.

### Name

The municipality (originally the [parish](/source/Prestegjeld)) is named after the old *[Oppdal](/source/Oppdal_(village))* farm ([Old Norse](/source/Old_Norse_language): *Uppdalr*) since the first [Oppdal Church](/source/Oppdal_Church) was built there. The first element is *upp* which means "upper". The last element is *dalr* which means "[valley](/source/Valley)" or "dale". Historically, the name was also spelled *Opdal*.[8]

### Coat of arms

The [coat of arms](/source/Coat_of_arms) was granted on 19 February 1982 (they were re-approved on 13 May 1983 after the government slightly changed the wording of the blazon). The official [blazon](/source/Blazon) is "[Azure](/source/Azure_(heraldry)), three [piles](/source/Pile_(heraldry)) [argent](/source/Argent) conjoined [in pall](/source/Pall_(heraldry))" ([Norwegian](/source/Norwegian_language): *I blått tre motstøtende sølv spisser i form av et gaffelkors*). This means the arms have a blue [field](/source/Field_(heraldry)) (background) and the [charge](/source/Charge_(heraldry)) is three triangles that meet in the centre, forming a Y-shaped design. The triangle design has a [tincture](/source/Tincture_(heraldry)) of [argent](/source/Argent) which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The design was nicknamed "meeting of ways" ([Norwegian](/source/Norwegian_language): *vegamot*) representing three important roads that meet in Oppdal, making it a major centre of commerce and transportation. One road comes from [Dombås](/source/Domb%C3%A5s) in the south going over the [Dovre Mountains](/source/Dovre_Mountains), one road comes from [Sunndalsøra](/source/Sunndals%C3%B8ra) in [Nordmøre](/source/Nordm%C3%B8re) from west, and the third road comes from [Trondheim](/source/Trondheim) in the north(east). Historically, this area was a gathering place due to its central location. The arms were designed by Einar H. Skjervold. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[9][10][11]

### Churches

The [Church of Norway](/source/Church_of_Norway) has three parishes (*sokn*) within Oppdal Municipality. It is part of the [Gauldal prosti](/source/Gauldal_prosti) ([deanery](/source/Deanery)) in the [Diocese of Nidaros](/source/Diocese_of_Nidaros).

### Prehistory

Oppdal is an alpine community which dates back to the Norwegian [Iron Age](/source/Iron_Age). It is located at a crossroads for traffic from [Trondheim](/source/Trondheim_(city)), the [Dovrefjell](/source/Dovrefjell) mountain range, and [Sunndal Municipality](/source/Sunndal_Municipality) on the west coast. This is reflected in the three rays in the coat-of-arms.

Oppdal was first settled sometime before 600 [CE](/source/Common_Era). By then there were about 50 farms in the area, and this number grew by about 20 more in the [Viking Age](/source/Viking_Age). There are remnants of over 700 [Pagan](/source/Norse_mythology) [grave mounds](/source/Tumulus) from the time at Vang, in which jewelry and other pieces from the [British Isles](/source/British_Isles) were found. This indicates that the area was relatively affluent and participated in the Viking trade. Much of the affluence was likely derived from the availability of game, both in the area and from nearby mountain ranges. Several game traps can still be seen in mountains around Oppdal, particularly ditches for [reindeer](/source/Reindeer). There have been more than 80 finds of at least two different types of [arrowheads](/source/Arrow) in the area.[12]

Archeological finds in Oppdal indicate that there were less pronounced economic disparities than elsewhere in Norway. Communal efforts to hold off famine and share burdens appear to have been common throughout several centuries.

### Middle Ages

During the Christian era, Pagan shrines and grave mounds were replaced by churches and chapels. Five rural churches were built in Oppdal at the time, in Vang, Ålbu, Lønset, Lo, and Nordskogen. The [Oppdal Church](/source/Oppdal_Church), built to replace an earlier [stave church](/source/Stave_church) in 1653, stands to this day.[13]

Oppdal was a stop for pilgrims on their way to the [St. Olav](/source/Olaf_II_of_Norway) shrine at the [Nidaros Cathedral](/source/Nidaros_Cathedral) in [Trondheim](/source/Trondheim_(city)) during the [Middle Ages](/source/Middle_Ages). As a result of the heavy stream of pilgrims who followed the [Pilgrim's Route](/source/Pilgrim's_Route) prior to the [Reformation](/source/Protestant_Reformation), King [Eystein](/source/Eystein_I_of_Norway) erected mountain stations where the pilgrims could find food and shelter. [Kongsvoll](/source/Kongsvoll), located on the [Driva](/source/Driva) River along the route where pilgrims passed from the [Gudbrandsdal](/source/Gudbrandsdal) valley into Oppdal was one of these stations, and is still an inn today. Drivstua, further north, was another.[13][14]

Oppdal was particularly affected by the [Black Plague](/source/Black_Plague), which led to the abandonment of a number of farms. With a worsening of the climate, the community hadn't recovered 170 years later, and there were only 35 farms and 350 people left. Only one church at Vang was still in use. As late as 1742, people in Oppdal died of hunger.

### Modern period

In the early 17th century, Oppdal's fortunes turned and population grew. By 1665, 2,200 people lived in Oppdal, and a new church was built at Vang, the [Oppdal Church](/source/Oppdal_Church), which stands to this day. The [Lønset Chapel](/source/L%C3%B8nset_Chapel) and [Fagerhaug Chapel](/source/Fagerhaug_Chapel) have been re-established, and Oppdal houses several other religious communities. Since the 18th century, the inhabitants of Oppdal have made significant investments in education, leading to the establishment of several small rural schools and, recently, a high school.

In the 19th century, increased fertility and reduced mortality led to population growth that could not be sustained by agricultural resources. Many became [tenant farmers](/source/Tenant_farmer), and eventually a large proportion of people from Oppdal emigrated to the United States. The population decreased until 1910, when the [railroad](/source/Rail_transport_in_Norway) from [Oslo](/source/Oslo) to Trondheim via [Dovre](/source/Dovre_Municipality) (the [Dovre Line](/source/Dovre_Line)) created employment and opened the area for tourism. In 1952, the first ski lift opened, and with further expansions Oppdal now offers one of Norway's largest downhill networks.

During the [German occupation of Norway](/source/German_occupation_of_Norway) ([World War II](/source/World_War_II)), Oppdal and [Dombås](/source/Domb%C3%A5s) were the locations of the Stalag 380 [prisoner-of-war camp](/source/German_prisoner-of-war_camps_in_World_War_II), relocated in late 1942 from [Skarżysko-Kamienna](/source/Skar%C5%BCysko-Kamienna) in [German-occupied Poland](/source/Occupation_of_Poland_(1939%E2%80%931945)).[15]

In 2013, [NRK](/source/NRK) said that a Labour Party politician was fighting against the establishment of a refugee center.[16]

## Government

Oppdal Municipality is responsible for [primary education](/source/Primary_education) (through 10th grade), outpatient [health services](/source/Health_care), [senior citizen](/source/Old_age) services, [welfare](/source/Welfare_spending) and other [social services](/source/Social_work), [zoning](/source/Zoning), [economic development](/source/Economic_development), and municipal [roads](/source/Road) and utilities. The municipality is governed by a [municipal council](/source/Municipal_council_(Norway)) of [directly elected](/source/Direct_election) representatives. The [mayor](/source/Mayor) is [indirectly elected](/source/Indirect_election) by a vote of the municipal council.[17] The municipality is under the jurisdiction of the [Trøndelag District Court](/source/Tr%C3%B8ndelag_District_Court) and the [Frostating Court of Appeal](/source/Frostating_Court_of_Appeal).

## Geography

Almannberget in Oppdal

Gjevillvatnet lake with dairy farms and the white Raudøra beach

Oppdal is bordered by two municipalities in Trøndelag county ([Rennebu Municipality](/source/Rennebu_Municipality) to the northeast and [Rindal Municipality](/source/Rindal_Municipality) to the west), two municipalities in [Møre og Romsdal](/source/M%C3%B8re_og_Romsdal) county ([Surnadal Municipality](/source/Surnadal_Municipality) to the north and [Sunndal Municipality](/source/Sunndal_Municipality) to the west), and three municipalities in [Innlandet](/source/Innlandet) county ([Tynset Municipality](/source/Tynset_Municipality) to the east and [Folldal Municipality](/source/Folldal_Municipality) and [Dovre Municipality](/source/Dovre_Municipality) to the south).

[European route E6](/source/European_route_E6) passes straight through the commercial center of Oppdal going north and south, and [Norwegian National Road 70](/source/Norwegian_National_Road_70) connects Oppdal to [Kristiansund](/source/Kristiansund_(town)) in the west.[13]

The southeastern part of [Trollheimen](/source/Trollheimen) mountain range is located in the municipality. The municipality covers an area equal to the entire county of [Vestfold](/source/Vestfold). The [administrative centre](/source/Administrative_centre) is at 545 metres (1,788 ft) above sea level. In 2001, its drinking water was named the best in Norway.[39]

Most of Oppdal's area is mountainous, with large areas above the [treeline](/source/Treeline). The highest point in the municipality is the 1,983.27-metre (6,506.8 ft) tall mountain [Storskrymten](/source/Storskrymten).[1] This mountain is a [tripoint](/source/Tripoint) on the border of [Lesja Municipality](/source/Lesja_Municipality) (in [Innlandet](/source/Innlandet)), [Sunndal Municipality](/source/Sunndal_Municipality) (in [Møre og Romsdal](/source/M%C3%B8re_og_Romsdal)), and Oppdal Municipality (in [Trøndelag](/source/Tr%C3%B8ndelag) county. Other mountains include [Blåhøa](/source/Bl%C3%A5h%C3%B8a%2C_Tr%C3%B8ndelag) and [Allmannberget](/source/Allmannberget). The [Speilsalen](/source/Speilsalen) ice tunnel was a glacial formation near Blåhøa.

In the valleys there are creeks and rivers which are surrounded by spruce and pine woods; closer to the treeline, [birches](/source/Birch) dominate. There are several lakes in the municipality, the most famous being [Gjevillvatnet](/source/Gjevillvatnet), a particularly scenic lake with hiking and cross-country skiing trails around it. The lake [Fundin](/source/Fundin_(lake)) is located in the southern part of the municipality.

[Heather](/source/Calluna) and [alpine meadows](/source/Alpine_meadow) provide grazing for sheep in the summer. About 1,161 square kilometres (448 sq mi) of the mountains has been held since time immemorial as a collective (*almenning*) by farmers in the area, giving them the right to hunt, fish, and rent cabins.

### Climate

Oppdal has a [boreal climate](/source/Boreal_climate), with spring as the driest season and summer as the wettest season. The climate is slightly continental with an average annual precipitation of only 600 millimetres (24 in). Considering the inland location and the altitude of 600 metres (2,000 ft) above sea level, the winters are fairly mild. The all-time high 30.1 °C (86.2 °F) was recorded 26 July 2019. The all-time low −26.1 °C (−15.0 °F) is from February 2010. The weather station at Oppdal-Sæther (elevation: 604 metres [1,982 ft]) started recording December 1999.
