Trip description

Explore the Arctic with us. Enjoy the beautiful and wild nature by boat in a magical Arctic environment.

Our expedition boat is built and modified for ski touring and ski mountaineering trips in the arctic environment. You sleep comfortably in double cabins. In the interior, there are also six showers, separate drying areas for equipment and clothes. Excellent cuisine is part of this pleasant stay. Food is served in the ship's restaurant. The spacious back deck offers the possibility of relaxing with light refreshments and the possibility of grilling.

Remote, mysterious and extreme. Svalbard is Norway's crown of the Arctic. Imagine huge glaciers and imposing peaks in a nameless environment. Due to Svalbard's remote location halfway between the Norwegian mainland and the North Pole, extreme cold is expected, but thanks to The Gulf Stream Svalbard has a surprisingly mild climate. Most of the terrain for freeride can be found on the western side of the archipelago.

Svalbard consists of 60% glaciers. The rest is mainly mountainous for skiing and snowboarding. The archipelago with the largest island Western Svalbard is located as far as the 78th latitude. In its northeastern part lies the peak Newtontoppen, which, with its height of 1713 meters above sea level, is the highest point of the archipelago.

Svalbard is an amazing place to see polar bears, whales, walruses and other unique wildlife. We invite you to one of the most exotic places in the world for your snow ride!
