Musk Ox Safari

Dovrefjell is the only place in Norway, and one of the few in the world, where you can experience musk oxen. You can venture into the mountains in search of musk oxen on your own, of course, but if you do, you must be well prepared. A fully grown musk ox can weigh 450 kilos and can run 60 km an hour. You can’t. Therefore, we advise you to join an organized guided musk ox safari.

Musk Oxen in Dovrefjell
On a guided tour, you are almost certain to see this primeval animal in Dovrefjell. The guide will keep you safe and give you plenty of time to study and photograph the musk oxen.

An organized musk ox safari departs every day all summer long, and a few operators offer musk ox safaris to order in the winter. In summer, the trip lasts about six hours, which is suitable for most people. Depending on where the musk oxen are, you should be prepared to walk between 7 and 15 km.

On this page, we have compiled a list of recommended operators of musk ox safaris in Dovrefjell. They are approved by the National Park Board to conduct such activities, and this approval is mandatory for guiding groups in the national park.
