Svalbard - Experience the Polar Night

December - January

Experience the Wonders of the Arctic with Us: The everlasting darkness, the radiant light of the stars and the moon over deep snowy solitude, and – with a bit of luck – the magical Northern Lights!

From November to January, the Polar Night reigns on Svalbard. Only the moon and the stars illuminate the deeply snowy landscape, creating a breathtaking, mystical atmosphere. During this season, we have the unique opportunity to see the shimmering Northern Lights even during the "day," enchanting the sky with their dancing display of colors.

The snowy wilderness is traversed by reindeer and Arctic foxes, while we travel by snowmobiles, skis, or snowshoes. These means of transport allow us to explore the serene beauty of the Arctic and find peace and relaxation in the midst of untouched nature.

Despite its remote location, Longyearbyen is a vibrant settlement with the charm of an international small town. The airport ensures convenient access, and this tourist-oriented place offers you every comfort you could wish for. Here, Arctic wilderness meets warm hospitality and modern amenities.

Join us on this unforgettable journey into the Polar Night on Svalbard and let yourself be enchanted by the unique magic of the Arctic!

If there are northern lights, we can also spontaneously once leave the settlement by car to admire the dancing spectacle in the sky outside the lights of the city.

To drive a snowmobile you need a valid class B driver's license under the "Vienna Convention on Road Traffic of 1968" act. The driver's license must always be carried with you when we are out and about with the snowmobiles.

Polar bears are protected on Svalbard and must not be searched for or disturbed. Sightings are unlikely during this time of year, never guaranteed, and you must keep your distance from polar bears for safety reasons. The legal distance is 300 metres in summer and 500 metres in winter.

In Norway and Svalbard we have a 0‰ alcohol tolerance for scooter rides. If this is not respected, you cannot participate in the tour and you are not entitled to a refund.

If the minimum number of participants is not reached one month before the start of the tour, we cannot carry out the tour according to the program and price. In this case we will discuss the details and possibilities with you personally.
