Ski and sail touching the North Pole
Welcome to one of our most exclusive trips so far. When the ski season is about to end in continental Europe, the best time to ski in the Archipelago begins. The sun returns and shines 24 hours a day, the animals return from hibernation and the snow conditions are perfect, so spring is a fantastic time to ski in Svalbard.
Svalbard can offer fjords, mountains and vast wild areas that have not yet been touched by man, even to this day. The traces we find in nature here do not come from people, but from the polar fox, seals, birds, reindeer or the king of these lands, the polar bear.
With a week ahead we leave Longyearbyen to the North. Our sailboat will be the refuge and transport to move around this region.
After a day of skiing we will arrive to the sailboat where a delicious meal will await us to recover our strength and plan the next day from our comfortable lounge area onboard. We will sail to the next mountain where we will anchor for the night, despite the fact that there is no darkness at that time of the year.
The steel exploration vessel has all the safety measures to operate in these waters together with an experienced crew that will be happy to share their knowledge. It has six double cabins, five bathrooms and a large lounge where you can relax after a day skiing.
This trip begins and ends in Longyearbyen, the main town of Svalbard. Check below the day-to-day program for more information.
