About
Svalbard has many options when it comes to classical ski adventures. The landscape is different, depending on where you are. Starting from Longyearbyen, we have Nordenskiöld land as the most available area for longer ski expeditions. The area has a varied landscape, everything from big mountains, glacier systems, valleys to the coast line. We will be in a non-motorized area without noice from vehicles like the snowmobile. During five days, you will experience a classical adventure in Svalbard.
