Musk ox safaris

Our recommendation: Experience the musk ox in a reassuring way. Several companies in the Dovrefjell area offer musk ox safaris with certified guides. Joining a safari enables you to experience both the musk ox and the Dovrefjell mountains, as well as learn why the majestic nature area of Dovrefjell is worth preserving.
