Svalbard, a remote archipelago, lies far north
in the Arctic Circle. There are no roads, ski
resorts, or civilization on the majority of
Svalbard. More than half of Svalbard is
covered by glaciers and icefields. With over
2,000 polar bears calling Svalbard and the
surrounding sea ice home, there are more
bears here than humans. It is forbidden to
leave the city limits of Longyearbyen without
proper polar bear protection (rifle and flare
gun - experienced guide will carry). This trip
takes place on Svalbard’s largest island of
Spitsbergen. We utilize snowmobiles to
access some of the most remote, and
least visited corners of the archipelago.
The adventure begins in the main village of Longyearbyen (population 1500). Longyearbyen has all the
amenities that you could need… nice restaurants (where you can try local specialties like seal, whale, and
reindeer), hotels, shops, bars, and even a brewery. The entire trip uses snowmobiles to access ski
terrain. After a couple of days based in the “city” we load the snowmobiles with supplies and head to…
Please reach out for the full trip itinerary. Each trip is fully custom.
Trips can be entirely hut / hotel based, base camp style, or boat based sail to ski.
No snowmobile experience needed, the riding is simple. All levels of ski touring welcome.
