A snowmobile adventure under the never-ending daylight of the Arctic spring

From late April, the Arctic sun no longer sets!
This surreal natural phenomenon – the midnight sun – floods the Svalbard landscape with golden light 24 hours a day.
On this special evening tour, we ride our snowmobiles into the wilderness to experience this light at its most magical: when the sun hangs just above the horizon, casting soft, endless shadows over the snow.


The Magic of the Midnight Sun
We travel in the evening, when the low-angled sun paints the landscape in warm tones of gold and orange. There’s no darkness – just calm, glowing silence. It’s a moment that feels outside of time.


Hidden Valleys and Frozen Riverbeds
Our route follows narrow valleys and frozen rivers around Longyearbyen, offering incredible views and wide-open terrain. It’s the perfect setting for a calm, reflective ride through the Arctic spring.


Wildlife Encounters in the Arctic Light
Svalbard reindeer often emerge during the evening to feed. With a bit of luck, we may spot them moving through the snow, their silhouettes glowing in the soft light

Physical Requirements/Difficulty Grading System
Suitable for most without any snowmobile experience, very easy and flat terrain
