Our approach to wolf watching is not a “hunt for sightings,” but a journey of knowledge about the wolf and the environment in which it lives. The activity begins with a meeting with the guide and a short introductory briefing, during which the environmental context, rules of conduct and the main ecological characteristics of the Apennine wolf are presented.

This is followed by a slow and mindful hike in areas particularly suited to the presence of wolves, crossing forests, clearings and mid- to high-altitude environments. Along the route, the guide helps the group read the landscape, explaining the tracks left by wildlife, movement corridors, and the wolf’s hunting strategies and adaptations to the Apennine landscape.

Observation stops are made at selected points, prioritizing silence and distance observation. The activity is carried out with the aid of professional binoculars; in low-light conditions, a thermal monocular may be used to detect possible presences without disturbing the animals.

The return follows the same discreet and respectful approach, with a final moment dedicated to discussion, questions and sharing the experience. Each outing is unique and depends on environmental, seasonal and behavioral factors, making every day different and authentic.
