Brown bear photography
4-day package
Spring awakening of Slovenian bears
Slovenianbears.com is offering a special 4-day package with only 3 terms available in the upcoming season (2024)!
Photograph gorgeous bears in the Slovenian winter.
When winter begins to lose its strength, the furry bears wake up from hibernation and start feeding. Larger males come out of the dens first and visit our locations through the whole day. The amount of snow and temperatures vary considerably at this time of year, but they offer guests great potential for amazing photos.
After many years of observing the bear’s habits, we have carefully chosen the period that offers guests the best opportunities for photographing the bear in the snow, in a unique ambience.
It is important to know that our spring package is different from the others that we organize in the warmer months. Not even two seasons are the same and it is impossible to predict the depth of the snowpack.
Bears are wild animals and it is extremely difficult to predict and guarantee their activity.
Slovenianbears offers ideal sighting options, however, sightings cannot be guaranteed. Nature follows its own set of rules.
