Wilderness camp at the East Coast

Some adventures are best kept to a small circle. Far out on Svalbard's remote east coast — beyond the last settlement, where glaciers meet frozen fjords and drifting pack ice — lies our camp, which hosts just 4 to 8 guests at a time: no strangers, no crowds, only a small group in the vast Arctic silence.

A trip to our Comfort Camp is more than a day excursion. While almost everyone else turns back before nightfall, we stay — settled comfortably in spacious tents with standing height and field beds, two to a tent, in expedition-grade sleeping bags made for Arctic winter nights.

The days belong to exploring the glaciers and fjords of this remote east coast by snowmobile or ski; the nights belong to the camp, where the heated group tent becomes our shared centre — for warm meals, hot drinks, and the kind of stories you only tell this far from home. Because of where the camp sits, we move to a completely different rhythm than most groups on Svalbard: while others spend hours just getting to the east coast, we're already here — with the whole day to explore this extraordinary region, from glaciers to sea ice to seals and, with a little luck, a polar bear in the distance.

We take care of everything that matters out here — experienced guides and camp guards, hearty breakfasts, freshly prepared dinners, and a comprehensive safety concept. The season is short, running only from early March to early May.

At the heart of the camp are our two camp guards, on-site throughout the entire stay to make sure everything runs smoothly and safely. They welcome the group, prepare warm meals, and keep the camp warm, inviting, and well organized. With their local experience, their feel for the Arctic environment, and their warm, friendly manner, they give guests the sense of having truly arrived in the wilderness and being in good hands — combining practical support with genuine hospitality, and there for the group throughout the whole stay.

Out here, the polar bear is never far from anyone's mind — and watching for it is part of life in the camp. Every guest takes a turn on the polar bear watch, a rotating system of shifts that keeps the camp safe through the night while the rest of the group sleeps. Guided by our team, you'll keep an eye on the surrounding landscape, alert for any movement on the horizon. It's a genuine responsibility, shared by everyone, and it's also one of the quietest, most memorable parts of the whole experience: standing watch in the deep Arctic stillness, with the vast white silence stretching out in every direction.

Even this far off the grid, the camp keeps you comfortably connected. A combination of solar panels and a generator keeps the lights on and the power flowing — even through the low light of early spring — while power banks let you charge cameras, phones, and other personal devices whenever you need to. For those moments when the outside world can't wait, a Starlink satellite link provides limited internet for essential communication. It's just enough technology to bring comfort, safety, and peace of mind, without ever breaking the spell of being somewhere genuinely remote.
