The village lies along the river Glomma, about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) northwest of the village of Flisa and about 30 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of the town of Elverum.

The Norwegian National Road 2 and the Solørbanen railway line both run through the village.

The Haslemoen Airstrip lies just outside the village and it is used for small recreational aircraft.

It is located on the site of the former Haslemoen military base before its closure in 2003.
