Get up close with Arctic wolves in Northern Norway
Meet the animals face-to-face in Polar Park.
By Luxury Insider /
In a world first, Polar Park in Northern Norway has opened a new lodge inside one of its huge enclosures, which is also home to a pack of Arctic wolves. Besides spending an evening in the lodge with wolves freely roaming on the other side of the windows, guests get to meet the animals face-to-face.
“Staying overnight in the Wolf Lodge is more of an experience than a night away,” said Jonny Cooper, Northern Lights travel expert and owner of Off the Map Travel. “With the large windows in the walls and roof, you can take full advantage of your stay with the wolves and admire the beauty of the Northern Norwegian Arctic wilderness as it stretches into the horizon.
“This very rare experience which is done with socialised wolves who have grown up with human contact. Instructed by an expert guide you enter the enclosure where visitors are greeted by the wolves with a gentle lick to the face, or what is now known as a Wolf Kiss.”
Based at Polar Park, the Wolf Lodge comfortably accommodates 10 guests. Its design is typically Scandinavian with the modern Norwegian farmhouse as its inspiration. The clean lines and cosy fabrics are highlighted by the minimalist Norwegian pine interior, which brings a light and fresh atmosphere to this hand crafted property. An expert guide accompanies guests throughout their stay at the Wolf Lodge to both host and teach guests about their handsome neighbours.
