→ Find out moreThe Svalbard Islands
Overview
Experience life as the trappers of the Arctic archipelago once did with a stay at the remote Trapper’s Station. Based approximately ten kilometres from the edge of Longyearbyen, this is a truly unique and hands-on place to lodge.
Designed as a replica of an old trappers’ station and filled with artefacts, fur rugs, sealskins and oil lamps, the feel here is complete Arctic authenticity. The accommodation is made up of the trapper’s hut, and for a truly different experience, the secondary station and gamma. Reminiscent of a shelter used by trappers during their hunting trips, the secondary station provides four beds, while the gamma is styled as a wooden teepee hut where you can settle down into sleeping bags on reindeer skin.
Let the everyday stresses of modern life trickle away as you get up close to this peaceful and relaxed wilderness on husky sled rides, before returning to the station for hearty four-course meals of Arctic food and flavours.

During the journey you will see flocks of birds which fly here in the summer to lay their eggs and enjoy lunch on board. In the afternoon you will then return to Longyearbyen and continue to discover the amazing and remote landscapes and maybe even spot some whales.

You will be transferred to the Adventfjorden port where you will put on dry suits and begin an expedition on board a powerful and safe inflatable expedition boat to venture out on the blue glacier waters.
