Bear Centre offer some of the best opportunities anywhere in the world to view wild brown bears safely at close quarters. The probability to see and photograph a bear is 90-99 %, depending on the month, and each season about 20-30 bears visit the hide area. Some evenings several bears may be seen at the same time and the nearest bear may be a few meters from the ”Bear House”.
