Take part in one of Spitsbergen’s most spectacular skiing adventures through the glacial landscape between Isfjorden and Kongsfjorden. This area is hard to get to, and is rarely visited by tourists on snowmobiles. At this time of year, the midnight sun never sets, allowing us to explore both day and night.

After spending the first night in Longyearbyen we will be transported by boat to Ymerbukta. This is where the real adventure begins. What the trip will entail is decided by the weather and the participants; however Esmarkbreen and Trollheimen are definitive destinations

Itinerary

9.00 am briefing, preparation and packing for the expedition. We will go through the gear and instructions for use of cooking gear, pulka, ski equipment, tent, food and drinks.

Transport to Ymerbukta/Borebukta with open polar circle boats, approximately 1-2 hours. From here on all we need are skis, pulkas and backpacks with our own equipment. There is no set schedule for the trip; the route and tempo will be adjusted to fit the weather conditions and the participants.

During the following days we ski in the beautiful Trollheimen area, in Oscar II’s Land. We will plan our route each day, using the current weather and the guides’ knowledge to find the most exciting adventures

The ski expedition ends in Ymerbukta around midday. We will be picked up by polar circle boats and returned to Longyearbyen.
