'''Tynset''' is a [[List of municipalities of Norway|municipality]] in [[Innlandet]] county, [[Norway]]. It is located in the [[Traditional districts of Norway|traditional district]] of [[Østerdalen]]. The [[administrative centre]] of the municipality is the [[Tynset (village)|village of Tynset]]. Other villages in Tynset include [[Fådalen]], [[Fåset]], [[Telneset]], [[Tylldalen]], and [[Yset]].

The {{convert|1880|km2|adj=on}} municipality is the 43rd largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Tynset is the 166th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 5,628. The municipality's [[population density]] is {{convert|3.1|PD/km2}} and its population has increased by 1% over the previous 10-year period.<ref name="ssb pop">{{Cite web |last=Statistisk sentralbyrå |author-link=Statistics Norway |title=Table: 06913: Population 1 January and population changes during the calendar year (M) |url=https://www.ssb.no/en/statbank/table/06913/ |language=Norwegian}}</ref><ref name="ssb area">{{Cite web |last=Statistisk sentralbyrå |author-link=Statistics Norway |title=09280: Area of land and fresh water (km²) (M) |url=https://www.ssb.no/en/statbank/table/09280/ |language=Norwegian}}</ref>

==General information==
The [[prestegjeld|parish]] of ''Tønsæt'' was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]] law). In 1864, the southern part of the municipality (population: 3,216) was separated to form the new municipality of [[Alvdal|Lille-Elvdal]]. This left Tynset with 2,975 residents. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the [[Schei Committee]]. On 1 January 1966, the neighboring municipality of [[Kvikne]] was dissolved and on that date the southern part of Kvikne (population: 664) was merged into Tynset municipality. On 1 January 1970, the ''Garlia'' farm (population: 5) was transferred from Tynset to the neighboring [[Rennebu Municipality]] (which also meant switching from [[Hedmark]] county to [[Sør-Trøndelag]] county). On 1 January 1984, the unpopulated Spekedalen area was transferred from Tynset to the neighboring [[Rendalen Municipality]].<ref name="Dag">{{Cite book |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |year=1999 |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |language=no |isbn=9788253746845}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the old ''[[Tynset (village)|Tynset]]'' farm ({{langx|non|Tunnusetr}}) since the first [[Tynset Church]] was built there. The first element is the [[genitive case]] of the river name {{lang|non|Tunna}} (now spelled {{lang|no|Tonna}}). The meaning of the river name is not known. The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|setr}} which means "[[seter|mountain pasture]]" or "[[farm]]".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SZMOAAAAYAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Hedmarkens amt |publisher=W.

On 3 November 1917, a [[royal decree|royal resolution]] changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to ''Tynset''.<ref>{{Cite journal |year=1917 |title=Norsk Lovtidende. 2den Afdeling. 1917.

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 18 October 1985. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], a moose head issuant [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|I blått et oppvoksende sølv elghode}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a stylized [[moose]] head extending up from the base of the [[Escutcheon (heraldry)|escutcheon]]. The moose head has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The design was chosen to symbolize the abundance of moose in the area. The arms were designed by Nils Aas. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Tynset |access-date=2023-04-29 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Tynset, Hedmark (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-04-37.html |access-date=2023-04-29 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1985-10-18 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1985-10-18-1856 |access-date=2023-04-29 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref> {{see also-text|the coats of arms for [[Coat of arms of Aremark|Aremark]], [[Coat of arms of Namsos|Namsos]], [[Coat of arms of Namsskogan|Namsskogan]], and [[Coat of arms of Ringsaker|Ringsaker]]}}

==Geography==
[[File:Tynset fra bygda.jpg|thumb|left|Tynset seen from northwest]]
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.

==Government==
Tynset Municipality is responsible for [[primary education]] (through 10th grade), outpatient [[Health care|health services]], [[old age|senior citizen]] services, [[welfare spending|welfare]] and other [[Social work|social services]], [[zoning]], [[economic development]], and municipal [[road]]s and utilities. The municipality is governed by a [[Municipal council (Norway)|municipal council]] of [[Direct election|directly elected]] representatives. The [[mayor]] is [[Indirect election|indirectly elected]] by a vote of the municipal council.<ref name="ks">{{Cite encyclopedia |title=kommunestyre |encyclopedia=[[Store norske leksikon]] |publisher=[[Kunnskapsforlaget]] |url=https://snl.no/kommunestyre |date=2022-09-20 |editor-last=Hansen |editor-first=Tore |language=Norwegian |editor2-last=Vabo |editor2-first=Signy Irene |accessdate=2022-10-14}}</ref> The municipality is under the jurisdiction of the [[Østre Innlandet District Court]] and the [[Eidsivating Court of Appeal]].

==Transportation==
[[File:Tynset Stasjon.jpg|thumb|left|Tynset railway station]]
The municipality can be reached via [[rail transport|railroad]], road, and air. The main [[Norwegian National Road 3]] runs through the municipality (it is the shortest route between the cities of [[Oslo]] and [[Trondheim]]). The Rondevegen road connects Tynset to [[Lillehammer (town)|Lillehammer]] (to the south), [[Røros (town)|Røros]] (to the northeast), and continues further into [[Sweden]]. County Road 30, which passes through [[Rendalen]], also continues through Tynset into Sweden. The [[Rørosbanen]] railway line connects Tynset with the major cities of Oslo and Trondheim. [[Røros Airport]], {{convert|55|km|mi|1}} away, is part of the national network. Tynset also hosts an [[aerodrome]] that is used by smaller aircraft.

===Kickers===
[[File:Tynset spark1.jpg|thumb|Giant kicker in Tynset Square]]
Tynset produces the traditional Norwegian form of transportation, the [[Kicksled|"kicker"]] ({{lang|no|spark}}). It is made in two versions: {{lang|no|Rappen}} and {{lang|no|Tarzan}}. The world's largest kicker is located in the Tynset Square in the village of [[Tynset (village)|Tynset]]. This sculpture is four times the size of a normal kicker.

==Economy==
With a population of about 5,400 people, Tynset is the urban centre of the Nord-Østerdalen region. Although it is a modern business and shopping centre with a wide variety of commercial activities, [[agriculture]] and [[forestry]] are still the traditional ways of making a living. Municipal administration and service industries, such as the computer industry, law, finance, and construction are also beginning to play an increasing role. Tynset has most of the functions of a regional centre because of its schools and hospital, and many of the region's intermunicipal services have naturally been positioned in Tynset: The Family Centre, Centre for School Psychology, and others. A factory in Tynset used to produce [[latex]] [[Troll]] [[souvenir]]s, but production moved abroad and it no longer does this.

Tynset has a rich cultural life with a huge range of organisations in sports, music, drama, the arts, and youth work.
;Kulturhuset
The Centre for The Arts ({{lang|no|kulturhuset}}) opened in 1988. The centre houses [[concert]]s, plays, a [[Movie theater|cinema]], [[library]], [[art exhibition]]s, rehearsals, reunions, conferences, and festivals. The {{lang|no|Kulturhuset}} also has a café.

;Tynsethallene
Tynset's first [[List of indoor arenas|sports hall]] ({{lang|no|Tynsethallen}}) was built in 1986. A second sports hall ({{lang|no|Holmenhallen}}) was opened ten years later. A [[swimming pool]] and smaller [[gymnastics]] gall in the building connects them to form a complete set of sports facilities.

;Savalen
[[Savalen]] is known internationally for its [[speed skating]] [[ice rink]], where many national and international records have been achieved. Savalen has also developed a [[football pitch]], an arena for [[Nordic skiing]] and [[biathlon]], a [[roller skiing]] track, an alpine area, and {{convert|90|km|mi|1}} of [[cross-country skiing]] tracks. The Savalen area has become a place that is specially designed for the handicapped, which includes wheelchair paths and a specially equipped fishing pier. Savalen has become a well-known holiday and vacation area.

;Early Skateboard in Norway
Tynset had one of Norway's very first pro [[skateboard]] [[vert ramp]], it was constructed 1981-82 by Erik Snedsbøl and located in the forest near Tela Sag & Høvleri on [[Telneset]]. It was one of the first pro vert-ramp's during the prohibition period (1978–89) in [[Norway]]. From 7 September 1978 to 9 May 1989, skateboarding was completely banned in [[Norway]]. At that time, Norway was the only country in the world where it was forbidden to sell, buy or stand on a skateboard. The ban was introduced by the Nordli government and lifted by the [[Brundtland]] government, both emanating from [[Arbeiderpartiet]] (Norwegian Labour Party). 
Snedsbøl's skateboard ramp was the first to get permission for use in Norway during the prohibition period, and contributed to the softening of the [[Law of Norway]]. The newspaper [[Arbeidets Rett]] by Jan E. Øvergård published an article on 12 October 1983. The ramp was later published in the [[Sweden|Swedish]] skateboard magazine Uppåt Väggarna (no. 5/6, 1983).
