About

Oppdal Safari has been organizing guided safaris and mountain hikes since 1995 and is today one of the biggest tour guiding companies in our region. Our guides have extensive knowledge and experience in ecology, outdoors and tourism, and is in the best position to give you a safe, challenging and unforgettable experience in our unique environment.

In summer season we have daily guided musk ox safaris, and private musk ox and moose safaris on request. The rest of the year we offer a wide range of activities both for photographers, individuals and events for groups, schools and conference participants.

If you are representing a television or film company looking for help with logistics and facilitation in Dovrefjell national park, we are proud of having worked with several TV companies such as BBC (Seven worlds - One planet), National Geographic, and NRK amongst others with great results.
