5.00The walk had some parts that were very steep and rocky. The information on Tripadvisor suggested that it was an easy accessible tour but we experienced it as a bit harder than that.
Unique natural spectacle with the musk oxen.

5.00On May 28, 2026, we conducted a nature tour to see the musk oxen. We had high expectations regarding the tour of these ancient animals. This highly interesting nature tour was led by the very competent guide Erlend, an employee of Oppdal Safari. We experienced unique moments and, thanks to Erlend, were able to take the most beautiful pictures of the musk oxen. We decided on that day that we would definitely book another tour to see the musk oxen through Oppdal Safari next winter. The service was totally fine! Thank you for that.
Solo Adventure Among Musk Oxen — Raw, Real, Unforgettable

5.00This experience was incredibly enriching, both from a natural and cultural perspective. Going on a musk ox safari on my own made it even more special — it allowed me to fully immerse myself in the landscape and truly connect with the environment in a unique way. The guide made all the difference. The attention was kind, professional, and very personalized. Even as a solo traveler, I felt completely looked after and part of something meaningful, not just a standard tour. From the very beginning, there was a sense of adventure in the air. Everything was well organized, and at every moment we were ready to embrace whatever nature had to offer. Without a doubt, this is something I would repeat. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine and memorable experience.
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!
Great

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!!!
