Welcome to Oppland!
Oppland is a county in Norway. This wide landlocked county is home to great lakes, major rivers, and the highest mountains in the Nordic countries. Oppland also hosts key overland transport corridors and travel by car or train through Norway usually include Oppland. Hills and long winters offer ample opportunities for winter sports such as cross-country and alpine skiing.
Oppland was until 1 January 2020 a county in Norway bordering the counties of Trøndelag, Møre og Romsdal, Sogn og Fjordane, Buskerud, Akershus, Oslo, and Hedmark. The county administration was located in Lillehammer.
Oppland was, together with Hedmark, one of the two landlocked counties of Norway. Oppland and Hedmark counties were merged on 1 January 2020 to become the new county Innlandet.
Innlandet was one of several names proposed for the new administrative region consisting of Hedmark and Oppland. The two counties were re-merged after being split in 1781 (then called Hedemarkens amt and Kristians amt, respectively). Historically, the region was commonly known as "Opplandene".
