✨ HIGHLIGHTS ✨


perhaps the most magical moment of my life

From an article in the New York Times:

“Marcus Eldh, a nature guide and the founder of a tour company called WildSweden, took me along for what remains perhaps the most magical moment of my life: sitting at the edge of a lake, surrounded by a forest and the semidarkness of Swedish summer, listening to the howling of wolves just a few hundred meters away. They knew we were there, of course, but chose to remain nearby, making this auditory encounter one entirely on their terms.”

The program

Wild Camping

We stay two nights wild camping in the forest. The exact location is kept a secret and it is very important that you don't share this information with anyone. We will explain why. We will set up camp at a location that is near the wolves, but still at a respectful distance to not disturb them. On this trip you will carry your own camping equipment (provided by us) and put up your hammock with instructions from your guide. Everyone will be making their food in separate gas kitchens (provided by us) in the company of the group. We provide the following top-quality outdoor equipment:

  • Hammock with mosquito net and rain tarp

  • Sleeping bag 3-season Nordic climate with fresh travel sheet

  • Small pillow with fresh cover

  • Insulation mat

  • Gas kitchen + gas + eating equipment

  • Recommended minimum age 15 years.

  • On some occasions during this tour we may walk in rough terrain off-trail where it may be rocky, mossy, wet and slippery, even in darkness with headlamps. These walks are slow with stops along the way and rarely last for more than an hour. Please only sign up for this tour if you think you will be fit enough for these walks.

  • Please note that the long sun hours during June and July means that we have to stay out until late, often until after midnight. But we do late breakfasts so you always have the chance to sleep in during the mornings.

  • This tour is not specifically adapted for photographing wildlife, although there will be plenty of opportunities to photograph the natural wonders that we may see.

THIS adventure IS RATED EXCELLENT BY EARLIER GUESTS!
