Dovrefjell National Park: Hiking Tour and Musk Ox Safari｜Norway

Together with an experienced guide, you will search for musk ox while hiking through the beautiful National Park of Dovrefjell. Along the way, you will learn about the musk ox's behaviour and history, other wildlife such as reindeer, as well as the importance of the national park to local culture.

We meet at our office at Hjerkinnhusvegen 35 at 09:45, outside the entrance of Frich's Hjerkinn.
The safari starts at 10:00, and then we drive 5-10 min to where we start the hike. If you don't have your own vehicle, please contact us beforehand so we can arrange transport.
(Note: During the summer season, there is a shuttle bus to Snøheim leaving from the same address at 09:45. Do not get on this bus, as it is not connected to our safari. We will not wait for you or refund your booking.)

The musk ox are wild animals, and to ensure everyone's safety, we don't go closer than 200 m. The animals move freely in the national park, which means that they are in different places every day, and the hike can be anywhere between 6 and 15 km in total. The safari usually takes 5-6 hours, depending on group fitness.

Dogs are allowed to join, but in some cases the owner and dog have to keep a longer distance to the animals.

The weather in the Norwegian mountains can be unpredictable, so bring extra warm clothes. We recommend wearing waterproof hiking shoes. Bring a packed lunch and something to drink. If you have binoculars, you should bring those too!

The safari ends at the same place as the starting point.
