Imsdalen

Imsdalen is a narrow, forested valley in the mountains east of Ringebu. The river Imsa rises in the mountain lakes of Imssjøene and follows the valley southeast to join the Glomma at Imsroa. Paths across the uplands connect the valley with the summer pastures of Ringebu, where farm animals were taken to graze during the warmer months. The surrounding mountains and forests have long made travel through this part of Norway a demanding undertaking.
