Wilderness adventure on Svalbard

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 snow 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 enjoy the winter wonder land around us. 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.

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. With all the gear needed for a multi-day tour, we head out, crossing wide valleys, mountain passes, and glaciers, we make our way to the east coast. We spend an entire day immersed in the wild and cold nature of Svalbard. If the ice conditions allow, we venture far out onto the frozen ocean and enjoy the rugged beauty of the landscape. We may have the chance to see glacier fronts and icebergs.

In the late afternoon, we arrive at our comfortable camp on the east coast, where a warm group tent awaits us already. Our camp guard greets us warmly and shows us how everything in the camp works. We settle into our tents, which are equipped with field beds and plenty of space to stand comfortably. Together, we enjoy the icy world around us, far removed from the rest of the world, and gather for dinner in the heated group tent. In the evening, we organize the night-time polar bear watch, in which all guests participate.

Overnight stay in the comfort camp on the east coast of Svalbard.

We will spend the next day on the east coast of Svalbard, enjoying the remoteness and beauty of the icy world around us. Since our camp is already located on the east coast, we don’t need to spend a few hours driving to explore this area like on other tours. We are already there, ready to begin our adventure. Depending on the ice conditions, we spend the days either on the frozen ocean visiting glacier fronts, or traveling over the ice cap and through the mountain peaks, exploring the remote east of the island. Seals, perhaps bears in the distance, and the first returning birds - otherwise, there are no signs of human civilization as far as the eye can see. In the late afternoon, we return to our camp each day, which gradually becomes our home.

Overnight stay in the comfort camp on the east coast.

Today, we will take the entire day to slowly make our way back to Longyearbyen with some detours. Depending on the weather and ice conditions, we may head to Tempelfjord or take another detour south. In the afternoon, we will reach the town, where the impressions of our camp on the east coast will linger with us as we enjoy the luxury of the town.

Overnight stay in Longyearbyen.

Take a day off to unwind, wander around the city, buy some souvenirs, or have a relaxed coffee. If you want more action, there are additional activities available for booking. We're happy to advise you about the best 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.
