Hiking

All year round, you can climb Svalbard’s steep slopes and reach the plateau above Longyearbyen and other higher peaks. From there, the views on the city, glaciers and Isfjord take your breath away.

You can join multi-day hikes where you sleep in a tent. For short trips (2-3 days) you can still try and book late, depending on availabilities. But for longer trips (1 to 3 weeks), logistics impose an early booking.

During the Polar Night, fewer hikes are proposed, but this is an experience in itself to hike under the northern lights.
Many companies propose various hikes, with different names. Be sure you check the route to avoid booking two activities almost identical, or ask us to help you find the best hikes for you.

We also offer softer and customized hikes, available on demand. See here
