Client comment – Winter Wolverine Photography

We had another fantastic week at WBB in late March–early April 2026. Despite warmer weather, we photographed wolverines in the snow—twice in daylight during six days. This period offers excellent chances, as wolverines are more active and visible in beautiful light.

As a bonus, an early brown bear appeared, and a stunning red fox in winter coat completed the experience. The week truly exceeded our expectations.

Highly recommended for patient photographers looking for unique wildlife moments in the silent wilderness of the Finnish–Russian border.
