A summer ski trip in June. From the north side of Isfjord we will ski over the glaciers of Oscar II Land, all the way to Ny-Ålesund, the worlds northern most settlement. The first and last part of the trip will be as transportation by boat.

Day by day program:
Day 1: Pick up at your hotel in Longyearbyen. Information and briefing about the trip, security, equipment etc. Last preparations and packing of pulks and rucksacks. As soon as we are ready we start off by car to the pier and we go aboard the boat. The boat will cross Isfjorden, and we’ll leave it on the north side, in Ymerbukta. Warm lunch on land. We start skiing from here and in a short while we will be on glacier with ski and pulks. The dogs will help us pulling the pulks and they will also stay around the tents at night, to alarm us in case of Polar bears approaching the camp. The camping cooker will be turned out during night. Dinner and overnight in tent.

Day 2 – day 6: the following five days we break camp after breakfast before skiing , always in direction north. The most part of the trip is on glaciers. We can also choose to have calmer days returning to the same camp site if we wish. The route will be selected by the participants and the guide together every morning, depending on weather and snow conditions as well as the wishes of the participants. Everyday we have warm lunch outdoors and late in the afternoon we will set camp. After Esmarkbreen we will move East, over Borebreen, through Kjepasset and Wahlenbergbreen. Many places we have to use ropes. The view is fantastic: we left Isfjord and summer season behind, we and we are going into a warm winter with a lot of sun and high temperatures. If there is no wind it is possible to walk with t-shirt. The last two days we cross Sveabreen to Kongspasset. From here we walk down to Kongsfjorden. In the evening we make camp along the coast of Kongsfjorden . There is bird life, ice is smelting in the sea with a lot of beautiful colours contrast. On one side of us we have the big front of the glacier Kongsbreen.

Day 7: Breakfast and clearing the camp area. We walk by skis or by feet along the coast; it depends on the snow conditions. Usually we have the skis on our rucksacks the last kilometres before Ny Ålesund. When we arrive in Ny Ålesund we take sightseeing (if we have time!), we visit the museum and the Nobile mast. Ny Ålesund is the most beautiful settlement in Svalbard , the northernmost village in the world and the loneliest place in the world. Here different nations cooperate in scientific projects. In the evening we go aboard the boat that will transport us back to Longyearbyen. Dinner and overnight on board. The route is along the Kongsfjorden and along the west side of Prins Karls Forland. Late at night we sail inn the Isfjorden and arrive in Longyearbyen after midnight .
