Fabulous Musk Ox Safari

5.00My 2 day Musk Ox safari was absolutely amazing! My guide, Morten was extremely knowledgeable, kind and truly looked after me on the mountain, as we had some challenging windy weather. He ensured I didn’t fall and safety was always first including when and how we approached the animals. We managed to see the Musk Ox on both days and to be able to photograph them was truly a privilege. I had a fantastic time and the safari exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend Oppdal safari!

5.00We had a wonderful day with Morton snowshoeing in the park. It was so beautiful and not that hard very gentle ascent, and we were rewarded at the top after about 3 miles with nice views of musk ox. Morton was very knowledgeable and very patient with our slow pace. Generally great vibes Thanks!!!

4.00We were lucky enough to have Emily as our guide. She was perfect in everything. She is very attentive to the whole group and knows very well what she does. It made us live an unforgettable experience. We had the oxen a few meters away and we could really enjoy the place and the whole route. The problem was that her boss did not ask us if we had our own car, so it would have been much easier to stay directly in the parking lot of the National Park, and not in Oppdal, since we came from Dombás and had to redo the 30 minutes of car we had just done. But otherwise, it was a day we will never forget!!!
Impressive day with great guide, great Service !

5.00A nice day with a great group and a very good guide. Also, that due to a road closure we only 1 h later on Meeting point would have arrived we were directed to another place to get to the group. Ingenious with other organizers that would have been bad luck!!!! We then saw two old musk oxen and learned a lot about the history. In addition, learn a lot about the fauna. In addition, a white tailed eagle and a stone melter ( rare bird) seen . Walked a total of 6 kilometers, very moderate and not very hilly.
Interesting and funny

5.00A group hike (about 10 people, international), which in my case was not strenuous, but depending on the starting point can lead 14km/7h through partly rough terrain. First steep climb, then magnificent views, even of the distant musk oxen. Guide Erland is bursting with enthusiasm and imparts knowledge in a nice, fun and interesting way. At the picnic area there was coffee/tea, as well as cinnamon rolls for everyone ("fika"). Since the weather and the group constellation play a role, and the herd of oxen moves, every hike is certainly different. I liked it!!
