Step into a silent Arctic wonderland on a guided snowshoe hike to Svalbard’s “backyard” glaciers, just outside Longyearbyen. This small-group adventure takes you away from town and into a frozen landscape of snow-covered valleys, icy ridges, and breathtaking glacier formations.
Led by an experienced Arctic nature guide, learn about the local wildlife, polar history, and the dramatic forces shaping this high Arctic environment. The snowshoes make it easy to walk across deep snow, letting you reach viewpoints and glacier edges that would otherwise be inaccessible.
During the trip, stop to enjoy hot drinks and Norwegian field snacks in the heart of the wilderness. Keep your camera ready as you may spot Svalbard reindeer or Arctic foxes along the way.
Good to Know:
- No prior snowshoeing experience required
- Average fitness level is enough.
- Dress warmly in wool layers, with windproof outer clothing. Bring extra layers.
- Snowshoeing route and glacier choice may vary depending on weather and snow conditions.
Minimum 2 participants for the trip to run.
