The village is located along the Orkla River at the confluence with the Ya River[4] about 31 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of the village of Innset and about 33 kilometres (21 mi) northwest of the town of Tynset. Norwegian National Road 3 passes through the village.[5]
The old dam construction for the Eidsfossen Hydroelectric Power Station can be seen from National Road 3 about 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) south of Yset.[6]
