Welcome to an enchanting journey in the serene wilderness of Tännäs. Our guided tour begins with a short walk to our lookout tower where the vast wilderness unfolds. En route to our enclosure, our knowledgeable guide will tell you the rich history of the muskox.
As you step into the enclosure, a magical encounter awaits where you will meet a prehistoric animal! Round off your experience in our exhibition and satisfy your curiosity.
Our adventure will commence at Härjebrygg in Tännäs, from where we will drive 7 kilometers; you can either follow in your own car or, if space permits, join us in our guide bus.

Ibland lyckas man få en bild i precis rätt ögonblick! Detta är en sån bild! Både Gunnar och Mejsa fångades på samma bild mitt i varsitt argt frustande. Ett vanligt tecken på att myskoxar är irriterande eller osäkra är att de frustar, de blåser ut luft genom näsborrarna väldigt kraftigt så det låter. På bilden kan ni se hur vidgade näsborrarna blir när luften är påväg ut i full kraft.
Jag tycker de påminner lite om ett barn som blåser upp kinderna. Håller ni med?
Irritationsmomentet som gjorde att detta beteende kunde fångas på bild var helt enkelt att jag bakom kameran råkade trampa på en pinne som knakade. Det oväntade ljudet störde myskoxarna och de frustade.
Sometimes you manage to get a picture at just the right moment! This is one of those pictures!
Both Gunnar and Mejsa were caught in the same picture in the middle of an angry snort. Snorting is a common sign that muskoxen are annoyed or insecure. They blow air out through their nostrils very forcefully, making the snorting sound. In the picture you can see how wide the nostrils become when the air is on its way out at full force.
I think they remind me a bit of a child blowing up their cheeks. Do you agree?
The irritating moment that made this be captured on picture was simply that I happened to step on a stick, making a cracking sound behind the camera. The unexpected sound disturbed the muskoxen and they snorted.

Muskox 2030 is a conservation network established in 2020 with the goal of investigating the future of the Swedish muskox population and its impact on biodiversity in the mountain ecosystems. This is being done through surveys and research projects. We at the Muskox Center are proud to be part of the project, which is run in collaboration with Vildriket, Lycksele Zoo, and Skåne Zoo. The project collaborates with CNRS/University of Toulouse and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, with support from the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation in Western Härjedalen and the Swedish Association of Zoos and Aquaria.
