Overview

Quotes Logo Muskox Safari from Hjerkinn takes adventurers into Norway's Dovrefjell National Park, home to the amazing muskox. These animals are special because they are prehistoric, and Dovrefjell is one of the few places in the world where they live.

This isn't just a hike; it's a chance to see wildlife in its natural home. Led by experienced guides from Dovre & Lesja Aktiv, you'll trek through the park, searching for muskoxen and other animals like eagles and reindeer. The guides know a lot about the local history and animals, and they will share stories along the way.

The hike can be between 7 and 15 km long, with some hills, so be ready to walk! The guide carries a telescope for everyone to use, ensuring great views while keeping a safe distance of 200 meters from these wild animals. Remember to bring lunch to enjoy during a break in this beautiful landscape. Quotes Logo
