Take lead from the polar explorer Amundsen on his expedition to the North Pole in 1904 and mush your own dog team across the vast and barren Arctic land. With less equipment and a less ambitious end goal than Amundsen, we leave civilization behind and begin our dog sledding adventure. Immerse yourself in a 3-day dog sledding experience and listen to the Arctic silence as we enter a snow-covered landscape at the end of the world.
Step outside Longyearbyen and open your door to the Arctic wilderness. Get the real feeling of what Svalbard is about. Mush your own husky team, set your expedition camp and care for your dogs for five days. We head vest to Isfjord Radio. After two long days outdoors a stay in this remarkable boutique hotel will ensure that you have the energy needed for the journey back to Longyearbyen.
