Description
Spitsbergen Across – An Arctic Mini-Expedition
April 21–30, 2026 you have the chance to experience one of Svalbard’s rawest adventure trips: an 8-day crossing of Spitsbergen from the east coast to the west coast. This is a unique opportunity to truly test your expedition dream in magnificent Arctic nature – glaciers, snow-covered valleys, frozen fjords, and finally a spectacular finale along the Greenland Sea.
With sled, tent, and skis, you’ll take part in a real expedition experience where community, mastery, and closeness to nature are at the core. Each day we set up camp, share meals, and prepare for the next stage.
After eight intense and unforgettable days in the wilderness, we reach our goal: Isfjord Radio, one of Svalbard’s most iconic gems out in the wild.
This is the trip for you if you:
• Dream of experiencing the Arctic wilderness on a true expedition
• Want silence, majestic landscapes, and the feeling of being far from civilization
• Are ready to push your limits and create memories for life
Unique highlight: All participants take part in polar bear watch at night – an intense but magical experience that brings you close to the Arctic’s majestic king. Our experienced guides always ensure safety with proper deterrents and equipment.
