Snowmobile TripWinter Snowmobile SafariOslo–Longyearbyen 7 Days / 6 Nights from $3,999
This snowmobile trip will make lasting vacation memories. Visit Longyearbyen, the capital of Spitsbergen, and join a fabulous two-day snowmobile safari through this dramatic landscape, stopping at a Russian mining settlement and staying at beautiful Kapp Linné, set in peaceful surroundings and facing the Arctic Ocean.
Beginning in Longyearbyen, the capital of the Svalbard archipelago, your guides give you a full briefing and overview of the journey ahead. You'll set out on snowmobiles at a moderate pace toward the fascinating Russian settlement of Barentsburg, where you'll have lunch and some free time to explore this remote outpost of Old Russia before continuing to Kapp Linné, situated at the mouth of Isfjord. Here, you will stay at a former radio communications station, which offers comfortable rooms, a lounge and dining room in an utterly breathtaking, remote location. After breakfast the following morning, you'll travel back to Longyearbyen via a different route, weather permitting. Stopping for lunch on the way, you'll arrive back in Longyearbyen in the late afternoon for an overnight stay, before departing for your international flight. Participants do not need prior snowmobile-driving experience, but they should be confident drivers to make this trip. Valid driver's license is required.
