Sel Municipality, Administrative division in Gudbrandsdal, Norway

The municipality of Sel extends across 905 square kilometers of land in Innlandet county, containing multiple villages including Otta, Bjølstad, and Nord-Sel.

The municipality was established in 1908 through the division of Vågå Municipality, and later expanded in 1965 when Heidal Municipality merged into its territory.

The municipal coat of arms depicts a girl with a trumpet, representing Prillar-Guri who alerted local farmers during the Battle of Kringen in 1612.

The local government manages three Church of Norway parishes, maintains public roads, and operates educational facilities throughout the municipality's territory.

Sel incorporates sections of Rondane National Park and features the Jørundgard Medieval Center, which connects to Nobel laureate Sigrid Undset's literary works.
