- Trapper's Hut
- Secondary Station
- Gamme
- Eighty Alaskan Huskies
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.
Today you'll be brought to the foot of the Breinosa Mountain for a unique experience at a Husky sled dog farm where you'll be greeted by 90 excited Alaskan Huskies and taught the basics of handling dogs and harnessing them to the wagon. Rather than traditional wooden sleds, the yard uses special wheeled wagons that dogs find easier to pull. After a trip in the wagon, biscuits and coffee will be served in a traditional wooden hut at the farm.
Explore the arctic tundra of the Svalbard Islands on exciting kayaking, trekking, snowmobiling and dog sledding tours. Witness astonishing wildlife from polar bears to whales, discover glaciers, fjords and ice caves and marvel at the beauty of the Northern Lights. Your travel designer will give you our top recommendations for icy adventures so that you can make the most of your time here.
From Longyearbyen port, board the Polar boat and sail into Advent Fjord toward the blue Nordenskioldbreen glacier. You'll visit the Pyramiden settlement, an old coal mine, and see flocks of birds which arrive in the summer to lay their eggs. Enjoy lunch on board. You'll be transferred back to your lodge in the afternoon.
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. You'll reach the impressive glacier of Esmark where you will stop for a while to enjoy a beverage while admiring the blue hue of the ice caves. Next, your adventure takes you to the solitary and inaccessible Radio Station of Kapp Linne, where you will have lunch and go for a walk to learn the kind of relief and curiosities of this place “at the end of the world”. You will then return to Longyearbyen at the feet of the impressive “bird” mountains which rise from the Arctic Ocean.
