View of the Mountains in Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

In 1953 a group of animals from Greenland was settled in Dovrefjell. In the meantime, their number has grown to around 350 musk oxen.
If you want to see the animals, you can start a tour from Kongsvoll. There are good chances to see the animals in Stroplsjødalen, Kaldvelldalen and in Kongsvoll. You can also watch the animals on the way towards Snøheim / Snøhetta (military restricted area).

The path winds its way up the mountain through dense birch forest. It's strenuous, because the mountain is long, but soon we reach the barren plateau of the Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park.

But the most important thing was that I saw the musk ox anyway. Simply fascinating to experience wild animals in their territory.
