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.

You will spend the day with huskies. You get to know our four-legged friends, get to feed them, pet them and help harness them. With a summer version of the well-known dog sleds you will go out on wheels into Endalen. You drive on gravel roads through the arctic tundra, enjoy the very special atmosphere of being pulled through nature by dogs and meet a variety of animals.

This tour is operated by a local partner.

Today's program takes us on a boat trip to the north of the Isfjord, to the Russian mining settlement of Pyramiden. Across the Isfjord we will pass impressive rock cliffs with thousands of breeding birds and huge glacier fronts to the north. After lunch on board we reach Pyramiden. Once - in the heyday of the Soviet Union - more than 1000 people lived here. Today, not much of those glory days is left. We are greeted by a Russian guide who tells us about the then and now life, history and cultural highlights of the old mining settlement. After the tour we will move into our accommodation and then set off for a leisurely private exploration. In the evening a typical local dinner will be served. Overnight stay at the hotel in Pyramiden.

The next morning, after a hearty Russian breakfast, a hiking tour is on the agenda. Off the beaten track we explore the wonderful nature of Spitsbergen. After lunch in the nature we return to the settlement and in the same afternoon by boat back to Longyearbyen.

After breakfast we start on a full day hiking tour to the Jotun glacier. Depending on weather conditions and fitness level, a smaller or larger round awaits us. Lunch will be enjoyed on the way with a great view. Back in Pyramiden we will let the day come to a cosy end.

Dinner and overnight stay in Pyramiden.

After breakfast a hiking tour is on the programme. Off the beaten track we explore the wonderful nature of Spitsbergen. Depending on the weather conditions and the guests' wishes, the guide will decide on the route on a daily basis. Lunch together in the nature or in the hotel. In the early evening we will return to Longyearbyen by boat.

The immediate area around Longyearbyen offers a variety of fantastic peaks and routes for hikes to suit all needs. We will walk across a glacier, most likely find many million year old fossils and enjoy a lunch in nature with a beautiful view.

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.
