Dovrefjell is a national park on both sides of the E6 just south of Oppdal on the way to Dombås. The park is divided by the highway with high peaks on the west side and a flatter more lush area on the east side. The east side is also unique in Norway for its herds of muskoxen. Muskoxen were transported to this area from Greenland in the 1930s and the herds have now grown quite big. Muskox safaris in Dovrefjell are offered in the summer and start at the Kongsvold railway station. There is only one tour daily, starting in the morning, which lasts around five to six hours.
