The wild reindeer was vital for the survival of our ancestors for thousands of years. In our exhibition
you can learn more about this and se a mounted wild reindeer and skeleton. Both are from animals
who lived in these mountains. The history and current challenges of wild reindeer are also topics for
exploration here. In the outdoor area you will find reconstructions of the pitfall traps our ancestors
used. We also have a reconstruction of the typical historic shelters people would use when travelling
across the mountains by foot or by horse.
We open 1th of june 2025.
We are following the seasons of the mountain and open when the snow is gone and we close when the snow arrives back in Dovrefjell. Between june and october we are open at all hours. We are offering guided tours and courses in shooting with arrow and bow.
