Ski camp expedition to Newtontoppen

Welcome to the Arctic and the northernmost town: Longyearbyen!

We recommend that you arrive one day prior to the expedition so you'll have a buffer day but also to experience this amazing town and surroundings.

Once you have arrived in Longyearbyen, we’ll take you to our expedition centre for briefing. We’ll go through the gear, safety and logistics ensuring every sled and ski is ready, checking up on the equipment list, ensure everyone is properly prepared, and to have the possibility to make any necessary last-minute purchases. Tomorrow your adventure begins.

We will pick you up at your hotel and do a final gear check before this exclusive adventure begins with a 180 km snowmobile journey across the frozen landscape, taking you into one of the most remote areas of Svalbard. You will be a passenger as we move outside Management Area 10 then tourists cannot drive their own snowmobiles, they must be transported by local people.

Located in the heart of Svalbard, we'll find Newtontoppen placed in Atomfjella area. It is the highest peak on the island, rising to 1,713 meters above sea level.

The Atomfjella area is renowned for its excellent snow conditions, making it a prime location for advanced skiers looking for a truly extraordinary experience. 

Once at Newtontoppen, we’ll establish camp, providing an immersive mountain experience with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. he weather in the mountains can change rapidly, and we may adjust the camp location as needed. Rest assured, we have extensive experience dealing with variable conditions. Once camp is set you’ll enjoy hearty meals, rest, and camaraderie in the unique setting of one of the Arctic’s most isolated locations. You’ll spend 3 nights camping at Newtontoppen, immersed in stunning nature, good food, and an unforgettable atmosphere.

Our expert guides will make safety a top priority, carefully assessing avalanche risks and other potential hazards. This tour is restricted in amount of participants to ensure a personal, exclusive experience with the best attention to detail.

Surrounded by towering peaks and vast glaciers, your time at Newtontoppen will be filled with breathtaking scenery and opportunities to immerse yourself in the harsh yet mesmerizing Arctic landscape. Should weather conditions be unfavorable, we have flexible options to relocate the camp to a safer location.

We will start the day with a breakfast to keep the energi level high and then gear up for our first ski touring adventure in the Newtontoppen region.

You unzip your tent and are instantly greeted by the cold crisp Arctic air. The views are breathtaking. After you have wrapped your hands around the warm cup and have had your breakfast you start to prepare for the day.

We will have a steady climb on skis with breathtaking glacier views and on the top we can celebrate with photos before decending long, open slopes back towards camp.

This will also be our final night in basecamp where we can share our reflections from the journey.

This is our last morning at the basecamp. In the morning after breakfast we will have a breakdown of our basecamp and packing the snowmobile sleds to go back to civilization.

The snowmobile ride back through the high Arctic landscape will give you time to think of all the fun and memories you have had. We arrive in Longyearbyen by afternoon, tired, exhilirated, and forever changed from our ski camp experience.

We recommend having 2 extra days / 1 night after return to Longyearbyen from the expedition. Flexible days to relax, unwind, and let the adventure sink in.

If the weather was challenging during the expedition, this day serves as a buffer for adjustments.

For those with energy left, we can help create an itinerary for staying in the northernmost town. 

The next day it will then be time to say goodbye to the Arctic.
