Bear watching & mammal watching tours
Small-group trips into remote mountain country, tracking bears in their own habitat.
These tours are offered to individuals or small groups of up to 5 people maximum, typically running 3–7 days (though they can be extended) in less-known, rural, mostly mountainous areas. The focus is on finding bears in their natural habitats without using baits or any other means of attracting the animals.
Working only from the guide's knowledge of the areas and of the species' biology and habits, we explore pristine and beautiful habitats by car and on short hikes, searching for bears and the other mammals that live there.
In the areas we visit there are good chances of seeing a number of interesting birds that inhabit the same, often mountainous ground — Rock Partridge, Rock Thrush, Rock and Ortolan Bunting, Alpine Accentor, Alpine Chough, Horned Lark, Water and Tawny Pipit among them — plus reptiles and flora, especially in spring.
