The gateway to more backcountry skiing experiences

This is where raw adventure meets power. A snowmobile is our gateway to explore the backyard and backcountry skiing even more. The snowmobile will allow us to go deep into Svalbard’s untamed wilderness, where we will reach the foot of the mountain to start the ascent. When we have reached the top you’ll then ski through terrain so rugged and untouched that it feels like no human has ever set foot here. You will be the one who creates the lines surrounded by silence. You’ll reach places few have seen, and the challenge of skiing through these remote landscapes will leave you breathless. If you want to try something different outside the tourist trail should definitly be on your bucket list.
