East Coast by Snowmobile
with Poli Arctici
About the tour
Leave Longyearbyen behind for a day of complete Arctic solitude. We ride through spectacular valleys, over glaciers and across frozen fjords, surrounded by rugged snowy mountains, all the way to the east coast of Spitsbergen.
The east coast is where the chance of seeing a polar bear is higher than near town, always at a safe distance. We explore rugged coastline, glacier fronts and the sea ice, with strange shapes and colours under the Arctic light.
Physical Requirements
Previous snowmobile experience is an advantage. Day trip through some rugged terrain.
