- Are we likely to see wolves? Wolves in Sweden are very shy and difficult to see in the wild, mainly since the landscape is flat and the forests are dense. Our main focus on this tour is therfore to listen for howls, search for tracks like paw prints, territorial markings, killed prey and to learn and understand. If the current situation is promising, we may also watch for wolves at some strategic location. Although our guests rarely get to see Wolves it does happen occasionally. And most of our guests agree that it is more impressive to hear the howls of a pack in a dark forest, than to see them. - Are we likely to hear the wolves howl? Yes, very likely. We hear wolves howl on most tours. For many of our guests, this is an unexpected highlight of their visit to Sweden. - Is it safe to stay out with wolves? Yes, there is no danger whatsoever. Wolves are extremely shy and don’t attack people. The safety precautions during this trip are more about making sure we all stay warm and dry, that we sleep well and we don’t fall while hiking Our guides are experienced and know how to handle any situation that may occur. - Is there is a risk that we will disturb the wolves? We always stay at a respectful distance as we don't want to disturb the wolves. It is of course in our interest that the wolves do not move to another area. - How late are we out in the evenings? Often until after midnight, as this is when wolves are most active. In September, wolves tend to be active earlier, so we usually return to the hotel much earlier. Late breakfasts allow time to rest the following mornings. - How far will we be walking each day? 2–5 km per day; it depends on the current wildlife situation. - How do I get to the starting point of this adventure? Take a train from Stockholm or Arlanda airport to Köping station, a 1 hour 20 minutes journey. We'll meet you at Köping station and take you to the wolf territory. - What will the food be like? We will eat all meals out in the forest, sometimes by a campfire. Meals will be simple but filling and tasty, and we all help out with cooking and grilling. Some of the meals will be prepared in beforehand and just heated. Veggie, gluten free or no fish, we take any diet just as seriously as anything else as long as you let us know in beforehand. - Is this suitable for first-time wildlife travellers? Yes. This is a calm, guided experience with hotel nights and a small group. You don’t need outdoor or wildlife experience — just curiosity, patience, and normal fitness. - Why should I choose to join this trip?
