Svalbard: The Ultimate Ski Trip

The isolated archipelago of frozen tundra, Northern Lights and midnight sun; Svalbard’s imposing landscape, stark glaciers and incredible wildlife offer a diverse and unparalleled terrain. An intimate knowledge of the climate within this tough environment, is essential for a successful experience. Working with the most competent and reliable experts, it is possible to explore regions that, until recently, were considered wildly off limits.

A three-day expedition to the wilderness of Svalbard, with luxury camping, high quality food, and the most spectacular landscape in the arctic. All the camps are set up in advance, with heated tents, real beds, a specialist chef on location to provide the highest quality food at the end of each day’s exploration, and a guide to be on Polar Bear watch while the guests are sleeping.

Svalbard is reached by flying into Longyear Airport, located 1.6 nautical miles northwest of Longyearbyen. It is the northernmost airport in the world with scheduled public flights. Guests can expect close encounters with walrus colonies and polar bears, and for certain periods will be the most northerly people on Earth.
