Folldal is located along the northern border of Innlandet county. It is bordered in the northwest by [[Oppdal Municipality|Oppdal]] (in [[Trøndelag]] county). The rest of the surrounding municipalities are all in Innlandet county. The municipality of [[Tynset]] lies to the northeast, [[Alvdal]] is to the east, [[Stor-Elvdal]] is to the southeast, [[Sør-Fron]] and [[Sel, Norway|Sel]] are to the south, and [[Dovre]] is to the west.

Folldal Municipality is notable because [[Folldal (village)|the village of Folldal]], its [[administrative center]], has the highest elevation ({{convert|712.5|m|disp=or}} above sea level) of all administrative centres in Norway. The village has picturesque scenery with mountains and valleys. The village lies at the foot of [[Rondeslottet]] mountain and [[Snøhetta]] mountain.

The area also has many interesting geologic features from the last Ice Age. Norway's longest [[Transhumance|seter]] valley, the {{convert|55|km|adj=on}} long [[Einunndalen]], lies within the municipality. The Einunndalen valley is still actively used for summer grazing at the seters (mountain summer farms) established in the 1700s. Almost half of the municipal land is protected as conservation areas and national parks, including parts that are included in the [[Rondane National Park]] and [[Dovre National Park]].

A national tourist road, the [[Norwegian County Road 27]], runs through the municipality.
