Moose Safari

Just outside Lillehammer, we head out into the bright northern summer night to search for the moose - “elgen,” the king of the forest.

Maybe a powerful bull appears, maybe last year’s twins, or a cow with her tiny calves. We keep a respectful distance, allowing you to observe and photograph these majestic animals in peace while learning about their behavior and role in the local ecosystem.

A calm, authentic nature experience you won’t forget.
