The Ultimate Arctic Snowmobile Expedition - From Glaciers to the Frozen East Coast - Snowfox Travel

About

Experience the ultimate Arctic adventure on our longest single-day snowmobile expedition - an unforgettable journey through some of the world’s most breathtaking polar landscapes.

Ride deep into the wilderness as we cross vast valleys, conquer mighty glaciers, and venture far beyond the ordinary into the wild East Coast of Svalbard - where true adventure begins!

After arriving at our basecamp, you’ll receive a full safety briefing and suit up in warm expedition gear before setting off into the frozen wilderness by snowmobile.

Throughout the day, we’ll stop at spectacular viewing points to take in the dramatic scenery and capture incredible photos. Observe towering glacier walls, enjoy panoramic views from the glacier tops, and experience the silence and beauty of the High Arctic like never before.

Keep your eyes open for Svalbard’s unique wildlife along the way. You may spot reindeers, Arctic foxes, seals - and if luck is on our side - even the legendary polar bear from a safe distance.

Weather and ice conditions permitting, we’ll ride out onto the sea ice itself, bringing you face-to-face with the impressive Königsberg Glacier. Here, surrounded by a frozen Arctic paradise, we’ll enjoy a warm lunch and hot drinks with one of the most extraordinary views imaginable!

The adventure continues after lunch as we may explore even further across the sea ice, weaving between enormous icebergs frozen into the landscape. A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience!
