Skreia is a village in Østre Toten Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The village is located on the western shore of the large lake Mjøsa, about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) southeast of the village of Lena and about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) to the south of the village of Kapp. In the summers, there is a ferry from Skreia across the lake to the town of Hamar.[3]
