An exhiting experience - We had an amazing hike with Morten and Kasper to see Musk oxen in Dovre. We were lucky enough to see 11 animals but the nature itself was worth it. Our two charming and knowledgeable guides led us safely to find the Musk oxen.
Ps. The weather changes rapidly in the mountain,you really need to bring enough clothes and appropriate footwear!

An experiment to do! On top! - Hiking of about 5km, very interesting in a perfectly green and quiet.
In addition to seeing muskoxen, we learn a lot about mountain plants and animals. Kaspar is a fantastic Guide who ensures that everyone understands the nature around us. He also speaks French, which is great for kids who don’t understand English!
We were lucky enough to have a great time!
We strongly recommend this hike!

Just an amazing day :D - It was an incredibly beautiful tour that will be remembered not only by the sighting of a herd of musk oxen! Our wonderful guides Fia and Kasper (who have already been mentioned in other reviews) not only shone through their extensive knowledge of the plants and animals of the national park, but also always had helpful tips in many other areas. The trip was therefore worthwhile for the high level of knowledge acquired in the fields of mines, mushrooms, berries, Lord of the Rings and the use of trolls in raising children. But you also got a very good insight into the history and life of the musk oxen :)
The tour is therefore highly recommended!

Musk oxen in rain - The guide was very knowledgeable and good with interesting information about nature along the way. With that he managed to keep the whole group in a good mood despite persistent rain. That we got to see the musk oxen a little closer to home was really cool.

A sweet taste of Norway's nature - My girlfriend and I went to this safari looking for some hiking, fun, and enjoying nature.
We ended up having one of our most beautiful experiences in a mountain ever, very well handled by Emily and Kaspar. As there was too many people, they splitted us in two groups, so we were lead by Kaspar, a funny and dedicated man that introduced us to the beauty of Norweigian mountains, Biology of the animals that live there and Viking's culture, all mixed up in a light and unforgettable memory.
In summary, I absolutely recommend this experience for a couple's/friend's/family's plan.

Such a nice experience! - It was really nice to see the musk ox so wild and free and all of this without disturbing them.
The guide was also really helpful and knew a lot about flora and fauna in this region!
But you'll definitely have to like it observing wild animals with around 60-70 people (because of 4 different groups).
Wouldn't change anything as tour operator! :)
