Vekkom utmarkslag lies on the east side of Gudbrandsdalen between Ringebu and Fåvang, and borders Brekkom to the south, Ringebu Østfjell statsallmenning to the east, Søråa to the north and Lågen to the west. The terrain changes between bare mountain, mixed forest and bog, with many mountain lakes and a varying brown trout stock. The landowners' map marks perch in Ølløvtjønnet (896 m above sea level) and Arctic char in Kutjønn, Svarttjønnet and Kvisthustjønnet.
