Itinerary

This is a trip is perfect for adventurous adults! What would be a better place to celebrate the New Year than in the middle of the true wilderness, close to the North Pole together with polar bears and northern lights? We have created an interesting New Year’s adventure for you. Meet our guide 10:00 am at Trapper’s Hotel. After a briefing with our guide, we will give you warm clothing, like the overall and winter boots, and then head to the snowmobiles. After a lesson for snowmobile drive and safety issues, you will head out to the wilderness and towards Kapp Linne and Isfjord Radio. It is a unique feeling to drive to the dark wilderness. Only a faint light behind the mountains color up the sky and on cloudy day you cannot tell the difference between daytime and night time. We will arrive to the remote boutique hotel Isfjord Radio before the evening, where our staff is ready to welcome us with warm drinks.

Today is New Year’s eve – time for celebrate the last day of the year with snowmobile trip to the old Russian mining town – Barentsburg. After a tasty breakfast, we will start our snowmobiles and head into the darkness and towards Barentsburg. Explore the life of an isolated arctic town and visit some Russian buildings. Here you can really feel the mining history of Spitsbergen. This is full day trip with expedition lunch on the way. Once back at the Station it is time to dress up for the evening. We will have a delicious 5-course New Year’s dinner served to us. At midnight, we will have some fireworks and sparkling wine to celebrate the New Year in arctic style.

Today is the first day of the New Year. What a feeling to wake up for a big brunch in the remote radio station. It is sure to be a year to remember when it starts this way! Today you can take it easy. Enjoy the big brunch and drink warm coffee in the living room. Chat with your travelling friends and just enjoy your life. We will not start our snowmobiles before later on, so that everyone has had good time to wake up and freshen after last night’s party. Then it is time for the last snowmobile trip through the polar night.
