Vigga is a local Norwegian newspaper published in Dombås in Oppland county.[1]

The Vigga is a regional newspaper, mainly covering events in the municipalities of Lesja and Dovre. Until 2012 it also had an office in Otta in order to cover a wider area including Sel and the municipalities along Ottadalen. Vigga was established in 1987 by the married couple Marit and Asbjørn Amble.[2]

The name originates in the local term "vigga", referring to the zone where the trees can no longer grow, where the forest end and the landscape transitions into more barren steppe or tundra like conditions typical for the mountainous areas of the region.
