Reindalen & Van Mijenfjorden - A beautiful & more unknown route to explore - Snowfox Travel

About

Are you ready to drive out on snowmobiles into the wilderness and discover what beauty Svalbard has to offer?!
Join our special adventure through the stunning canyons, where we will drive away from the crowds and take a more unknown and unique route.

This trip is for those who want to emerge deep into the wilderness of Svalbard with a chance on spotting wildlife, love to go more off the beaten tracks and enjoy the Arctic nature with a small group!

Our adventure starts when we will pick you up from your accommodation and drive you to our basecamp. After a safety briefing and changing into the right clothes, we are ready to start our snowmobile experience into the wilderness.

You can either drive your own snowmobile or if you book with more than 1 person, share one (it is possible to swap along the way).

Our journey will go through the snow covered canyons towards the massive valley of Reindalen. Here we have prepared a wilderness camp for a bonfire and warm lunch. On our way we will be passing high glaciers and amazing nature like nowhere else in the world. We will head towards the large Van Mijenfjord, where we often find wildlife.

Along our way we will make sure to have enough stops for you to take great photos of this amazing scenery. On this tour you will enjoy true Arctic nature in small groups.
Your guide will take you on an adventure which will create memories for life!

It is not an issue if you do not have previous snowmobile experience. We will give clear instructions and we will start easy to get you into the flow!
