A woman skier was followed by wolves over the weekend in canton Graubünden.

She was on the slopes in Obersaxen on Saturday and spotted the animals cross the piste. They then followed her down the mountain for a short time before heading back into the forest.

The local police say they believe they know which pack of animals it was and they did nothing out of the ordinary. 

Wolves tend to avoid humans naturally and will walk away if they feel they’ve been spotted. 

If a wolf does approach you, the advice is shout at the animal and back away slowly. Do not approach them
