Few towns in Innlandet have a history as closely tied to the arrival of the railway as Otta. The settlement grew around Otta station after the railway reached the valley in 1896, and the Dovre Line still makes it an important stop between Oslo and Trondheim. Otta stands where the Otta River meets the Gudbrandsdalslågen, within the broad Gudbrandsdalen valley. It is also home to the Norwegian Mountain Centre, which interprets the protected mountain landscapes of nearby national parks. Locally quarried Otta slate, a dark metamorphic stone used in building, is another regional signature. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Gudbrandsdalen.
