Svalbard ski mountaineering and sailing trip

I invite you to a unique 7-day ski and sailing trip in Spitsbergen, the largest and the only inhabited island of the Svalbard archipelago, in Northern Norway.

This is a remote and wild land in the Arctic Ocean, with stunning glaciers rising from the sea and dramatic peaks covered with snow. It is one of the northernmost inhabited regions in the world.

During this trip, we’ll be sailing on a comfortable 3 foot sailing yacht. Because the weather conditions can change very fast, it’s important to visit these places with a IFMGA certified mountain guide. With me, you’ll enjoy a safe trip, with a flexible program and also learn about this area.

The skiing, the landscape and the wildlife of Svalbard are truly unique. As, as we will be visiting the home of polar bears, guides will have firearms with them at all times.

You’ll be in the company of an amazing crew trained in England, as well as a captain that has lived in Svalbard for 18 years. All of them have extensive experience guiding in this island and will make your trip the adventure of a lifetime.

We’ll plan the trip according to the areas with the best skiing conditions, visiting different spots along the west coast of the island of Spitsbergen.

A typical day will begin with a good breakfast. Then we’ll organize our equipment and go after the best powder snow. We’ll be travelling in a wild place, almost untouched.

Each day, we will ski tour from 6 to 8 hours. As the sun never sets, we can manage the itinerary as we want, going out during the day or night.

Back in the boat, there’ll be time for dinner, relaxing, fishing and also planning the activities for the following day.

Please contact me if you want to discuss this extraordinary ski touring trip and check our next departures! Thank you!

I organize many other trips in Norway. You can also take a look at this backcountry skiing trip in Lofoten or this ice climbing program.
