Winter in Svalbard is defined by the mysterious Polar Night, where the sun never rises and the world is ruled by twilight and stars. Guided by the glow of the moon and the flicker of the northern lights, winter adventures take on a dreamlike, cinematic atmosphere—one found nowhere else on earth.

This is the season of frozen fjords, drifting sea ice, and snow-covered valleys. It’s also the perfect time to meet Svalbard wildlife in its winter habitat—reindeer wandering through blue-tinged landscapes, arctic foxes blending into the snow, and the occasional seal resting on the ice edge.

From towering glaciers to sculpted snowdrifts shaped by the Arctic wind, winter reveals Svalbard’s raw geological power. Travel deep into untouched terrain by snowmobile or dogsled, discovering dramatic ice formations, frosted mountains, and the feeling of true polar exploration.

For those seeking remoteness and adventure, winter is the ultimate season. Whether traveling under the polar night or in the bright light of the returning sun, this is when the Arctic feels truly wild. Our winter journeys bring you far beyond Longyearbyen, to outposts surrounded by silence and endless white horizons.
