We will pick you up at the airport in and take you to your accommodation in Longyearbyen. Depending on your arrival time, we will go on a guided tour of Longyearbyen with a visit to the museum on the same day and get to know the northernmost settlement and its surroundings in detail.

Early in the morning, our boat takes us to the Russian mining settlement of Pyramiden. Across the Isfjord we pass impressive rock cliffs with thousands of breeding birds and huge glacier fronts sailing north. After lunch on board we reach Pyramiden. Once - in the heyday of the Soviet Union - more than 1000 people lived here. Today, not much of those glory days is left. We are greeted by a Russian guide who tells us about the then and now life, history and cultural highlights of the old mining settlement. After the tour we will move into our accommodation and then set off for a leisurely private exploration. In the evening a typical dinner will be served.

Overnight stay at the legendary hotel in Pyramiden.

First thing in the morning we set off with the kayaks. We cross Petunia Bay and find the beach in Adolfbukta near the Nordenskiöld glacier in the early afternoon, where we pitch our tents for the night (distance of the day about 12 kilometers). Maybe there will be time for a short paddle to the glacier before dinner.

Dinner and overnight in the tent camp. Every guest helps with the bear watch.

The next morning we set off again with the kayaks and all the luggage. We paddle along the glacier and make our way back to Pyramiden by noon at the latest.

Today we start on foot towards the west. At the beginning we walk on the old road through the Mimmer valley up to Blue Lake. At the foot of the Jotunfonna ice cap we set up camp. In the afternoon we go up to the heights of the glacier with light luggage. There we enjoy the breathtaking view over the whole north of the Isfjord and Dicksonland (distance of the day about 15 kilometers).

Dinner and overnight in the tent camp. All guests participate in the bear watch.

Early in the morning we dismantle the camp and hike again about 15 kilometers through Tordalen and Peerdalen to Skansbukta. Here we will be picked up by the ship in the afternoon and head back to Longyearbyen.

Today we are in for a 6-7 hour hike to the beautiful summit of Trollstein (849m) with magnificent views of the Longyearbyen area and Nordenskiöldland. On our way we will pass through the moraine of the Lars Glacier and later (conditions permitting) we will also walk over the ice of the glacier itself.

After an extensive breakfast there will be some free time in the town. Then it's time to say goodbye. A private airport transfer will take you to your scheduled flight and on your way back home.
