Tynset is the urban centre for the northern [[Østerdalen]] part of Innlandet county in the central area of mainland Norway. Tynset lies in the upper quadrant of Norway's longest valley, Østerdalen at an elevation of approximately {{convert|480|m|ft|1}} above sea level. To the northeast lies the municipality of [[Tolga, Norway|Tolga]]; south of Tynset are [[Rendalen]] and [[Alvdal]] municipalities; and to the west is [[Folldal]] municipality. In the neighboring county of [[Trøndelag]], Tynset is bordered to the north by the municipalities of [[Rennebu Municipality|Rennebu]] and [[Midtre Gauldal]], and to the west by [[Oppdal Municipality|Oppdal]] municipality.

Tynset is known for its vast areas of [[forest]] and mountain, which are ideal for [[skiing]], walking, [[cycling]], [[hunting]], and [[fishing]]. In many areas are signposted paths and ski tracks are ploughed in winter. The river [[Glåma]] has several side rivers including the [[Sivilla]] and [[Ya (river)|Ya]]. The [[Fådalen]] valley and the lake [[Savalen]] have many tourist activities. The lakes [[Innerdalsvatnet]] and [[Falningsjøen]] also lie in the municipality.

Tynset has many [[wildlife]] areas including the geological formation at Ripan and Gammeldalen. At Ripan, there is a lake formed by [[glacier|glaciation]] during the [[Last Glacial Period|last ice age]] and at Gammeldalen there are some beautifully formed [[Cirque|corries]] from the same period.

Tynset has many historic mountain farms (''[[Transhumance|seter]]'') that are still in use in the high parts of the countryside. It is possible to visit these farms while hiking. Tynset municipality also rents [[chalet]]s, which used to belong to some of these mountain farms.
