Svalbard - Experience the Polar Night

January

Experience the polar night of Svalbard.

Perpetual darkness, the brilliant light of the stars and the moon above the snow-covered landscape and then suddenly a colourful spectacle of red, green and blue. The Arctic Northern Lights are a wonderful natural spectacle that you will enjoy with a little luck on our 4-day Northern Lights Tour.

From November to January, Svalbard is in the dark season with its continuous night. This is the perfect opportunity to have a chance to see the northern lights at any time of the day or night. In addition, the solar storms that trigger the Northern Lights when they collide with the Earth's magnetic field are most active at this time.

During these days you will actively get to know Svalbard. Snowscooters, dog sleds and snowshoes are the preferred means of transport on our island in winter. During our Northern Lights Tour, you will also use these to set off into the Arctic wilderness. With any of our activities, you'll have the chance to see the dancing colours of the Northern Lights in the night sky or encounter the exciting wildlife of reindeer, polar bears and Arctic foxes.

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.

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.
