This Ski & Sail expedition is a journey amongst one of the most unique and surreal ski touring destinations in the world, a combination of sea, mountain, and arctic environments. The Svalbard archipelago of over 60 mostly unpopulated islands is a wild and remote place.
The west coast of Spitsbergen is protected by a long, thin island called Prins Karls Island, providing protection from the open sea allowing us to access dozens of fjords with world class skiing with peaks rising 500 to 1,000 meters straight out of the sea. And access is only made possible by boat, an Arctic tradition that has existed over 200 years.
Longyearbyen, with a population of about 2,000, is the northernmost town in the world and is the starting point for our trip. Despite its remote location, Longyearbyen boasts excellent amenities with a town center with bars, restaurants, shops, and museums. SAS and Norwegian airlines have connecting flights direct from Oslo.
