Description
The remote inland of Svalbard has endless of mountains to explore and ski. By joining our snowmobile and ski touring overnight tours, you will have complete freedom to move around and our experienced guides will take you to areas where you will find the best snow. Regardless of where you go, it's very unlikely that you'll meet anyone else, and you may even end up skiing down faces that have never been skied before.
From April to early May you will be accompanied by the midnight sun which means you will have 24 hours of daylight to play with. Why not go for a randonee tour in the middle of the night!
If you want full flexibility in terms of location, and also want to experience a full Arctic wilderness adventure, we recommend going for accommodation in a basecamp. We bring all the equipment, and the guide chooses the best location based on weather and snow conditions.
You can choose to go as far as the legendary Atlas Mountains with endless alpine mountains and steep chutes, or to the area of Svea, which is surrounded by mountains with endless descents in all directions.
If you prefer a higher level of comfort, we can also stay overnight in one of the commercial cabins available.
Regardless of which option you choose, you will immerse yourself completely in the Svalbard nature, without distractions and where everything will be amplified: time, emotions and the feeling of adventure. And you will forever dream of coming back.
Safety is always our top priority, and it's important that our guide can give instructions and make themselves understood. Therefore, it is mandatory to understand and speak English in order to participate in our tours. All tours will be conducted in English.
