Musk Ox over Romsdalseggen
0
To the right of us now lies the famous mountain ridge Romsdalseggen, a 10-kilometer-long hike that offers magical panoramic views. Some parts are so narrow that you can almost sit with one foot on each side of the mountain, which plunges 1000 meters down into the valley. In September 2022, some local hikers got a surprise when they encountered a musk ox at the end of Nesaksla, the mountain right above the center of Åndalsnes. The musk ox had wandered across the entire narrow mountain ridge and was now completely off course. Musk oxen look peaceful and kind, but if they feel threatened or cornered, they can become very dangerous and charge at you at 50 km/h. The musk ox had to be put down and is now on display at the top of Nesaksla, in the facility of Romsdalsgondolen.
