Welcome to Svalbard. Upon arrival at the airport, your guide will greet and accompany you to your accommodation in Longyearbyen. Already on the first day, we will get to know the diversity of the northernmost settlement in the world on a detailed city tour. Feel the special atmosphere of the place and discover the treasures of the famous Svalbard Museum. Overnight stay in Longyearbyen where we will spend the next 3 nights.

Today you will go with your own dog team into the vast, white wilderness (snow conditions permitting). You'll spend the whole day out in nature, learn a lot about the daily life of dogs and mushers, and get to help prepare and harness the dogs. In teams of two the dog teams will be navigated. After lunch in the nature we go back. An almost silent glide through the Arctic; the grinding of the runners in the snow and the occasional bark of joy from the dogs make this experience unique. In the late afternoon we are back in Longyearbyen.

This tour is operated by a local partner.

Today's program will be a snow hike to a glacier near Longyearbyen. Our guide will decide on the day, depending on snow conditions and weather, which route is best. Once we've reached a nice viewpoint, we have a hot drink and a small lunch while enjoying the view of Longyearbyen and the landscape around us, shining in the darkness. Then we slowly start our way back to Longyearbyen.

After a hearty breakfast, we set off. We are equipped with arctic-suitable thermal suits, boots, gloves and all other necessary equipment and after a detailed introduction to the handling of the snowmobile and a few tips & tricks, how to drive such a scooter, we head out.

Our first tour is a day trip and takes us to Elveneset, a good 30 km away. The terrain is very flat at the beginning and gets steeper, curvier and more challenging as we go along. An ideal route to get used to the snow and the scooters a bit. At the same time, fantastic views await us north of Longyearbyen, in relatively little-traveled terrain.

In some years a beautiful ice cave forms in the Tellbreen. We also want to look for this one.

We return in the late afternoon.

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.

Optional activities to book on request. We will be happy to advise you personally about the possibilities and offers.

Farewell day. After an extensive breakfast, there will be some free time (depending on your flight schedule) in town. Then it is time to say goodbye. A private airport transfer will take you to your scheduled flight and on your way back home.
