You will need to arrive into Longyearbyen this morning, ready to start your adventure. Please Contact Us to discuss a potential flight itinerary to suit.

Upon arrival into Longyearbyen, you will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel in town. The hotel will be your basecamp in Longyearbyen, decorated in authentic trapper’s style down to the very last detail. You will head out to the Trapper's Station where you will meet your enthusiastic team of huskies and enjoy an afternoon of dog sledding in nearby Adventdalen. You will return to the hotel this evening to get a good nights sleep ready to start your adventure tomorrow morning.

After a hearty breakfast you will meet your guide at 10am for a full briefing on your route and the weather conditions. You will be fitted with a warm thermal suit, boots, helmet, hat, and mittens before completing a quick driving lesson and safety briefing. Then it is time to set out westward, into the Arctic vastness, toward Kapp Linné and the your remote wilderness lodge on the shores of Isfjorden.

The landscape unfolds differently every day. In February and early March, the light paints the snow in soft pastels. By April, the days stretch almost endlessly under the Arctic sky. You will travel through raw beauty, stopping along the way to enjoy an expedition lunch in the stillness of the wild. The exact route depends on snow and weather - but soon enough your lodge will come into view. By afternoon, you will arrive at Isfjord Radio, a former outpost turned boutique lodge — and the last western point before Greenland. Enjoy a warm welcome and a well-deserved sauna which is perched on the cliff with panoramic sea views.

Enjoy a memorable dinner in the dining room, where local ingredients and Arctic flavors come together. It’s the perfect close to a day of movement, nature and new perspective — at the edge of the known world.

After breakfast, you will gear up and venture back into the breathtaking wilderness of Spitsbergen. Your route today will be chosen by your guide, shaped by the Arctic’s ever-changing weather and snow conditions. If the skies open and the terrain allows, you may head south toward the mighty Fritjof Glacier. Keep a sharp eye for wildlife as you travel today. With a bit of Arctic luck, you may witness a truly powerful sight: a polar bear moving silently across the sea ice in search of seals. Such moments are rare, always unpredictable — and utterly unforgettable.

You will break for an expedition lunch in the field, surrounded by silence, snow and sweeping white horizons. This is the Arctic at its purest: no noise, no roads, just the rhythm of nature and the sound of your breath. Later, you will return to the lodge and have the rest of the afternoon free to relax and spend as you wish - warm up in the lounge, sip something by the window, or step outside and breathe in the raw, salty air - before enjoying dinner at the lodge.

After breakfast, it’s time to gear up for the return to Longyearbyen. Your guide will choose the route based on the day’s snow and weather conditions — always with safety, scenery, and storytelling in mind. You will ride along the rugged coastline, between jagged mountains and over sweeping glaciers. Along the way, you will pause to explore the stories hidden in the landscape — from Svalbard’s unique geology and wildlife to its dramatic polar history.

Lunch is enjoyed outdoors, far from civilization, surrounded by an Arctic palette of white and blue that seems to stretch forever. By afternoon, you will arrive back in Longyearbyen. After returning your expedition gear you will head back to your hotel for a well-deserved rest. 

This day is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Take time to explore Longyearbyen’s unique culture and stories. We recommend a visit to the Svalbard Museum — each offering insight into life at the top of the world. Or simply wander the streets, stop by local shops, and pick up a souvenir or two from your time in the North. You will be transferred back to the airport for your flight back to Oslo.

After a hearty breakfast, you will plan the day’s adventure with your guide and head back into the heart of Spitsbergen’s untamed wilderness. Today’s route may take you across vast glaciers, past icy fjords, and through wind-carved valleys and mountains, all cloaked in brilliant hues of white and blue. Out here, miles from civilization, the silence is as striking as the scenery.

Along the way, your guide brings the landscape to life — sharing tales from Svalbard’s legendary trapper era, as well as insights into the geology, wildlife, and fragile ecosystems that shape this remote region. With every stop and story, your connection to the Arctic deepens. You will pause during the day for a hearty expedition-style lunch in the open, surrounded by nothing but snow, ice, and horizon.

In the afternoon, you will return to the comfort of Nordenskiöld Lodge. After a full day outdoors, the warmth of the wood-fired sauna is a welcome treat. As the evening settles in, gather for a well-earned Arctic dinner, rich in local flavors and shared stories.
