Tyssedal

Tyssedal

Tyssedal is a village in Odda municipality in Norway with about 700 inhabitants and is situated 6 km north of Odda center. Tyssedal is located in a charming environment between fjords and mountains, in the fjord arm Sørfjorden and at the edge of the Hardangervidda mountain plateau.

Tyssedal is a typical single industry village, depending upon the energy received from the hydropower station. The ilmenite smelter Tinfos Titan and Iron (TTI), owned by Tinfos is located here and is the largest employer in the village. The smelter was converted from making aluminium in the late 1980s. The first hydropower station in Tyssedal, Tysso I, is today part of the Norwegian Museum of Hydropower and Industry.
