The village is located among the Sunnmørsalpene mountains, about 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) east of the mountain Kolåstinden.
As with many villages rural areas, populations have been gradually decreasing as living off the land is no longer viable in modernized countries.

Here there is a new power station, wireless internet service, and development of an Alpine Center for new residents and tourists.
