Snowmobile Expedition: Reindalen & Van Mijenfjorden - Beyond the Crowds - Snowfox Travel

About

Are you ready to experience the Arctic far beyond the ordinary?

Join us on an unforgettable snowmobile expedition into the wilderness of Svalbard, where massive glaciers, vast valleys, and dramatic canyons create one of the world's most spectacular landscapes. 

This is not your typical snowmobile tour. We've carefully designed this adventure to take you away from the well-travelled routes and into more remote areas. It's a journey for those who want to discover the true, wild heart of Svalbard. 

Your adventure begins with pickup from your accommodation, followed by a short drive to our basecamp. 
After meeting your experienced guide, you'll receive a comprehensive safety briefing and be outfitted with warm expedition gear before setting off into the Arctic wilderness.

From the moment the engines start, you'll travel through snow-filled canyons and across the breathtaking landscape towards the immense Reindalen Valley, in our eyes one of Svalbard's largest and most beautiful valleys. Surrounded by the immense nature, you'll experience a sense of space and silence unlike anywhere else on Earth.

Our route continues toward the spectacular Van Mijenfjorden, an area known for its incredible scenery and frequent wildlife sightings and spotting Polar bear tracks! Keep your eyes open as you may spot reindeer, an Arctic fox, or even seals resting on the sea ice. Along the way, we'll stop regularly at the most scenic locations, giving you plenty of opportunities to capture stunning photographs and simply take in the extraordinary surroundings.

During the day, we'll enjoy a warm expedition-style lunch in the heart of the Arctic, making the experience feel like a true polar adventure. 

Covering approximately 140–160 km by snowmobile, this full-day expedition offers the perfect combination of adventure, exploration, and breathtaking natural beauty. Whether it's the endless white landscapes, the pristine wilderness, or the feeling of venturing where few others go, this is an experience that will stay with you long after you've left Svalbard.

Discover the Arctic as it was meant to be experienced, wild, remote, and unforgettable!
