Car Rental in Tynset Center

Tynset is the central town in Innlandet county and is located at the upper reaches of the Glomma River, about 210 km north of Lillehammer. With one rental company in the center, Tynset is the starting point for exploring the Røros region and Østerdalen. Tynset center is small but well-equipped – from here it's just 55 km east on RV3 to Røros, one of Norway's best-preserved mining towns and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

To the north toward Alvdal and Folldal, Dovrefjell opens up about 70 km away. Book a car well in advance – there is only one rental company and capacity is limited, especially during summer and Easter. Drive RV3 south along Østerdalen for one of Norway's most beautiful inland routes.

Winter driving requires tires with good tread depth – mountain passes close in severe weather. How far is it from Tynset to Røros? About 55 km to the east via RV3, approximately 50 minutes' drive.

Is there an airport near Tynset? The nearest airports are Røros (about 60 km) and Hamar (about 155 km to the south). Can I reach Dovrefjell by car from Tynset?
