In 2011 Ringebu was awarded with the “Bymiljø- prisen” (the price for the most welcoming and cozy city) with competition from sixteen other places and cities in Norway. ”Landsbygalleriet Ringebu” is an outdoor photo gallery in Ringebu village, accessible to visitors all year round. The pictures are taken by local photographers, as well as one guest photographer, all from the age of 15 to 75. The pictures are located on selec- ted houses around the central area of Ringebu village, and the motives are changed four times a year.
