Svalbard at the Blue Hour

Welcome to Spitsbergen! We will pick you up at the airport and bring you to your accommodation in Longyearbyen. If arriving before 15:30, we will go on a city tour in Longyearbyen the same afternoon and get to know the northernmost small town in the world and its surroundings.

The area around Longyearbyen offers a variety of fantastic routes and peaks for hikes to suit all abilities. Depending on the group and your wishes, we will explore the wide valleys around Longyearbyen, look out for reindeer and foxes or, depending on the route, walk over a glacier and search for fossils. We will have lunch in the countryside with a wonderful view before setting off on our return journey.

Today you will head out into the vast, white wilderness with your own dog team (snow conditions permitting). You will spend the whole day out in nature, learn a lot about the everyday life of dogs and help prepare and harness the dogs. The sledges and dog teams are navigated in teams of two. At lunchtime, you will reach an ice cave deep in the ice of a glacier. You descend into a wonderful world of ice in the most spectacular colors and shapes.

After lunch in the great outdoors, we head back. An almost silent glide through the Arctic; the grinding of the runners in the snow and the occasional joyful barking of the dogs make this experience unique. You will be back in Longyearbyen in the late afternoon.

This tour is operated by a local partner.

After breakfast we start our journey. We will be equipped with arctic thermal suits, boots, gloves and all other necessary equipment and after a detailed introduction into the handling of the snowmobile we will start our tour. Depending on snow and weather conditions we will drive far out into nature through wide valleys, over mountain passes and glaciers. After lunch and a hot drink in the nature we will come back to Longyearbyen.

Once again we set off with the snowmobiles to explore the eastern mountains and valleys around Longyearbyen. We drive all the way to the Tempelfjord and discover the breathtaking landscape around Villa Fredheim, where Spitsbergen's most famous trapper lived. Depending on the weather and snow conditions, we take detours and explore the diversity of the Arctic - from viewpoints to gorges and wide valleys. After lunch in nature, we make our way back to Longyearbyen.

This day is all yours. You can relax or discover other activities. We will be happy to advise you personally about the possibilities and offers.

After a hearty breakfast, depending on your flight schedule, there will be some free time in 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.
