A wilderness adventure with snowmobile and tent

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.

Today's program will be a snowshoe 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 amazing landscape around us. Then we slowly start our way back to Longyearbyen.

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. A perfect opportunity to get familiar with the snowmobile and the equipment and to get a first impression of the majestic landscape of Spitsbergen.

After lunch and a hot drink in the nature we will come back to Longyearbyen.

Overnight stay in Longyearbyen.

After a good breakfast it's time to set off. With all the luggage for a multi-day tour we head out.

Over wide valleys, mountain passes and glaciers we will drive to the remote north of Spitsbergen. We will be on the road the whole day and experience the breathtaking nature. In the evening we will set up camp at a beautiful spot. Here we will stay two nights in the nature. In order for you to fully enjoy this experience, we will provide all the necessary equipment such as warm sleeping bags, a good insulating sleeping pad, winter tents and also a communal tent for cooking, eating, warming up and sitting comfortably together. If conditions allow, we also use the snow to dig cozy benches and maybe even a snow cave.

We cook dinner together on the gasoline burner and divide the night watch.

All guests participate in the night watch in a rotating shift system.

The next two full days we are out in the wilderness and discover together the fjords and mountains of Dicksonland. Here hardly any tours get there, which is why we can experience the wilderness undisturbed and up close. If the ice situation allows it, we go far out on the frozen fjord and enjoy the rough nature. Seals, maybe polar bears, later in the season the first returning birds and otherwise far and wide no sign of human civilization.

In the evening we get back to our camp and cook together again before disappearing into our warm winter sleeping bags.

At night we again keep the polar bear watch in shifts, and thus have the opportunity to enjoy Spitsbergen in complete peace alone for a change, while the sun wanders around us and it hardly gets dark.

We start the day with a good breakfast in nature, strike camp and then head back to Longyearbyen. From the east coast back to Longyearbyen you pass through different geological ages. The change of the landscape passing by is fantastic. In the early evening we are back in Longyearbyen and nothing stands in the way of a comfortable evening after having spent the nights out in a tent.

Overnight stay in 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.
