March - May
The sun always shines on the other side of the fjord, say the inhabitants of Longyearbyen when they look out over the fjord. Even if this is not entirely true, the area north of Isfjorden, the large fjord system in the centre of Svalbard, has an incredible variety of scenery to offer. From glacier fronts that plunge into the sea, often with sea ice and seals in front of them in winter, and the pointed mountains of Trollheimen towering behind them.
In this area - off the beaten track - we discover the wilderness and remoteness of Svalbard together. From the sea ice, our route leads up the glaciers until we reach small plateaus between the nunataks, which offer wonderful route options for a ski tour.
The special thing about this tour is the individual guidance: with a maximum of 8 guests and two guides, we are travelling in a small group, which saves us long waiting times on the way and gives us a lot of flexibility in the field.
Welcome to Svalbard! You will receive a warm welcome as our guide picks you up at the airport, escorting you to your accommodation.
We spend the afternoon in Longyearbyen, try out the equipment and have one last chance to get any missing materials. We pack our pulkas and go through all the basic knowledge you will need for the upcoming expedition together:
- Normal daily routines of an expedition
- Polar bear safety
- How to stay warm
- Clothing
- Tents & tent teams
- Fuel cookers & CO poisoning
- Weather & avalanche risk
- and much more...
Overnight stay in Longyearbyen.

For groups we are happy to offer private tours, which can be freely designed in terms of content. Together we can put together a program exactly according to your wishes and ideas. A private tour is somewhat more expensive, but offers many advantages and privileges both in the program design, as well as in the implementation of the trip here on Svalbard.
