The world’s largest moose
and other moose encounters

Every spring and autumn, a moose migration that counts up to 700 animals takes place in the lower areas west of Lake Mjøsa and the higher areas in Espedalen, Skåbu, and Murudalen west of the Gudbrandsdalen valley. In contrast to migrating moose in other parts of the world, the moose in Elgland wander to spend the winter at high elevation, before they stroll back down in the spring. They are highly faithful to their migration route, which they’ve been following for the last 10,000 years.

On a guided E-bike tour in the Dovrefjell mountain range, you’ll get to see moose in the twilight – as well as deer, badgers, and foxes if you’re lucky. Also, the view is so beautiful that you’ll probably be satisfied even before you’ve spotted your target. Remember to bring warm clothes – and your camera!

At a road crossing in Elverum, you’ll stumble across Norway’s most famous moose restaurant. Elgstua has been serving delicious homemade food since 1959. Besides variations of moose, you’ll find plenty of other lovely food on the menu. You can also have a taste of moose in several other Norwegian restaurants, especially in areas where they are plentiful.

So many places offer moose safaris that it is impossible to write about them all. So we’ve made a handy map where you can find a moose safari near you.
