Summary

Join us for a true wilderness experience in Øvre Dividal National Park. This is the land of the bear, wolf, wolverine and lynx, and we'll keep our binoculars ready to spot them. These animals are very shy, and they will keep a great distance to all humans. Our only chance to spot them is to look closely towards the opposite mountainsides. Join us, our experienced guides know what to look for!
