About

Experience the Magic of March in Svalbard.
Step into a world of Arctic wonder, where sparkling snow stretches endlessly and the light returns day by day. This is your chance to live out the dream of a winter night in the wild – guided by experts and surrounded by breathtaking nature.
Leave the town behind and immerse yourself in the silence of the Arctic wilderness. You’ll pull your own sled, set up your own tent, and feel the rewarding sense of achievement that comes from true adventure.

Day 1
Meet your guide and group, check your gear, and begin the journey in Endalen. Hike 8–10 km through stunning terrain, then settle into camp for your first night under the stars. Take part in polar bear watch – a peaceful moment to connect with nature.

Day 2
Wake to Arctic stillness and enjoy breakfast with a view. Today’s hike, often to Trollsteinen, offers panoramic vistas and a lighter pace without sleds. Return to camp for a warm meal and well-earned rest.

Day 3
Pack up and head back via Fardalsbakken, with sweeping views from Longyearpasset. The final descent over Longyearbreen is unforgettable – a perfect ending to an extraordinary adventure.

Who is this trip for? No prior experience is required – just good physical condition and a desire to spend three days out in the field. Motivation is key, as March can bring cold conditions. All necessary training will be provided along the way.
You must be able to pull your own sled (20–25 kg) over a distance of 8–10 km on the first and last day.
On day 2, we leave the sleds in camp and head out on a mountain hike with approximately 500–700 meters of elevation gain.

• Transport to and from your accommodation
