Fanny Vicet

Originally from the Chartreuse Regional Nature Park in the French pre-Alps, Fanny grew up surrounded by mountains, fresh air and a deep curiosity for people and places.

Fanny holds a bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences, with studies in anthropology, sociology and political science. During her exchange year in Montréal, she experienced her first –40°C snowstorm. A moment that, instead of scaring her off, sparked something unmistakably Arctic in her.

After Covid, like many restless souls, she packed her life into a van and travelled across Europe through workaways, exploring as much as possible. Norway quickly stole her heart. She spent her first summer guiding cruise-ship tours between Tromsø and Lofoten, then returned for a winter season in a dogyard in Tromsø. One winter became two, and stories from Svalbard began to captivate her imagination.

In her own words: “Who doesn’t want to get stuck in a snowstorm and flip a snowmobile coming back from a ski trip? Sounds fun!”
That spirit, curious, bold and wonderfully unafraid, eventually brought her to us in 2025.

Today, Fanny contributes wherever she is needed.
You may meet her at Isfjord Radio, Basecamp Hotel, or in the company of our beloved dogs at Trapper’s Station. Always with high energy, a warm smile, and outstanding customer service as her top priority.

Fanny’s Svalbard favourite: the ever-changing Arctic light; the way it paints new colours across familiar landscapes, transforming scenes you thought you already knew.
