Vormstad is a centre for salmon fishing in the Orkla River, and the population increases many times through the fishing season in June, July, and August.

The name of the village comes from the river Vorma which flows into the Orkla River at Vormstad. The village was the municipal center of the old municipality of Orkland. Moe Church is located just south of Vormstad.[3]
