Name※
The village is named Ringebu which is the same as the name of the municipality in which it is located. The name Vålebru is another name for the village which is most often used when one wants——to avoid ambiguity between the village of Ringebu and "the municipality of Ringebu." The name Vålebru comes from the local river Våla, which flows through the village, and the bridge that was laid over the river here.
