This is Udden Retreat, about two hours from Stockholm and in one of Sweden’s best areas for wildlife. It is our base for many of our summer tours in central Sweden.
We pick up our guests at Arlanda and bring them here, to a small guesthouse beside a forest lake. During Wolves, Moose & Beavers, they stay here for three nights and spend one night in tents in wolf territory. After the night in the forest, we return to Udden for a shower and a good meal before the journey ends.
Between our wildlife excursions, there is time to swim, use the sauna, go for a walk or paddle a canoe. Beavers often swim past in the lake, while ospreys – and sometimes white-tailed eagles – fly overhead. The surrounding forests are also home to wolves and plenty of moose.
WildSweden has worked with Udden for around 15 years. For many years it was run by Eva and Allan, before Paulina and Janne took over a few years ago.
Paulina and Janne, pictured here with our guide Simon, take good care of our guests. They also prepare much of the food we bring with us and eat out in nature.
After all these years, Udden has become much more than somewhere to sleep. It is an important part of our summer journeys.
We have now opened bookings for summer 2027, and the first bookings are already coming in. Almost all our tours this summer were nearly fully booked well in advance, so it is a good idea to plan early if you would like to join us next year.
You can find all dates and details on our website.
