Embark on the ultimate winter adventure – a snowmobile expedition to the edge of the world.
When you check in to Isfjord Radio, you’re not just arriving at a hotel — you’re stepping into the very heart of Svalbard. This remote and beautiful outpost, 100 kilometers from civilization, becomes your base for Arctic exploration.

Spend your days venturing into the wild with an expert Arctic nature guide, crossing frozen fjords, navigating glacier valleys, and soaking in the stillness of this untouched landscape. Each evening, return to the warmth and comfort of Isfjord Radio, where a chef-prepared dinner awaits — the perfect ending to a day well spent.

In February and early March, the northern lights often dance across the sky above the station. And the further you travel from town, the greater your chances of spotting Svalbard’s elusive wildlife — from Arctic foxes to the mighty polar bear.

Adventure, atmosphere, and awe — all in one extraordinary journey.

Day 1

At 10:00 AM, your Arctic adventure begins.
Your guide will meet you at your hotel, giving you time to review the day’s route, ask questions, and discuss the gear needed for the journey ahead. Once briefed, you’ll be outfitted in warm expedition clothing — thermal overalls, boots, gloves, and helmets — before heading out to the snowmobiles.

After a comprehensive safety briefing and introduction to snowmobile handling, we set off into the wild. The journey to Kapp Linné and Isfjord Radio takes you across frozen fjords and dramatic Arctic terrain, far beyond the edges of civilization. En route, we stop to enjoy an expedition lunch in the heart of the snowy silence — surrounded by nothing but nature and endless white.

Depending on conditions, your guide will select the best route for the day’s ride. By afternoon, you’ll arrive at Isfjord Radio, our remote boutique hotel on the edge of the world — the last outpost before Greenland.

Here, our welcoming team awaits with a delicious Arctic-inspired dinner, served in a setting unlike any other. And if you’re truly bold, the wood-fired sauna and a plunge into the Arctic Ocean offer the perfect adrenaline rush to close an unforgettable day.

This is Svalbard at its most spectacular — wild, remote, and deeply rewarding.

Day 2

Breakfast is served from 08:00, fueling you for another unforgettable day in the Arctic.
After a hearty meal, it’s time to gear up and head out into the spectacular wilderness of Spitsbergen. Today’s route will be carefully chosen by your guide, based on current weather and snow conditions. If the skies are clear and the terrain allows, we’ll set course south toward the majestic Fritjof Glacier.

With a bit of luck, you may witness one of nature’s most powerful moments — a polar bear roaming the sea ice in search of seals. Encounters like these are rare, but always possible in this untouched corner of the world.

We’ll enjoy a hearty expedition lunch out in the field, surrounded by silence, snow, and sweeping Arctic vistas. In the afternoon, we return to Isfjord Radio, where you’ll have time to unwind — whether that’s warming up in the lounge, taking in the views, or simply enjoying the stillness.

Dinner will be served later, rounding off a day of raw beauty and Arctic wonder.

Day 3

Breakfast is served from 08:00 — your last Arctic morning begins with a warm, hearty meal.
Afterwards, it’s time to gear up once again and head into the breathtaking wilderness of Spitsbergen. Your guide will determine the day’s route based on weather and snow conditions, ensuring both safety and spectacular views.

The light in Svalbard is ever-changing, painting the landscape with shifting hues that make every moment unique. With snowmobiles, we’re able to cover vast distances — gliding across open tundra and frozen fjords, immersed in a silence that stretches as far as the horizon.

We pause for lunch in the field, surrounded by snow-covered beauty, before continuing our journey toward Longyearbyen. The hours spent riding through the Arctic wilderness are more than travel — they’re a key part of the adventure.

We expect to return to Longyearbyen in the afternoon, bringing an unforgettable Arctic chapter to a close.
