Overview
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!

What to expect?
We hike through forest terrain on a trodded path, cross the border to the National Park, and enter the wilderness above the tree line towards our viewing point. We walk along a unique river terrain with a steep canyon and great scenery. The view towards the surrounding mountains is great, and our conditions for spotting great wildlife could not be better.
Your guide will prepare and serve your lunch along the way. We serve a delicious homemade reindeer stew with roots deep into the local culture.
