The programme

The adventure begins from the second you leave Longyearbyen. You'll cross the evocative Advent Valley, a place that seems to have come straight out of an arctic fairytale, while your guide tells you fascinating facts and stories about life in this unique environment.

On your arrival at Camp Barentz, the lively barking of polar huskies will greet you. An expert musher will take you on a discovery of their world, with exciting stories and anecdotes. Did you know that polar huskies can run many kilometers a day, and survive even at the most glacial temperatures thanks to their thick fur?

In the welcoming Gamme, a traditional wooden house with a fireplace in its center, you can sip a steaming hot coffee and savor delicious sveler, soft Norwegian pancakes. As you sit by the fire, discover the secrets of the polar bear through a series of thrilling stories.

After exploring the camp and taking some photos to remember the place, take home an artisan souvenir before heading back to Longyearbyen.
