Have you ever dreamt of doing ski touring in Svalbard? Our bespoken ski touring tours in scenic Svalbard nature are unique. Backyard Svalbard is a passionate crew of ski guides, and we will help you find the best fitted tour for your group.
Longyearbyen’s backyard is a beautiful mountainous area to explore. Being directly accessible from the city, it presents us with a wide panel of randonnée skiing possibilities of all difficulty levels, fitting all skiers from beginners to experts. Whether you are keen on a chill day with stunning views and relaxed skiing or eager to take a summit run and reach as many peaks as you can in the day, your private guide will know where to bring you for a perfect Arctic skiing adventure!
If you choose to go with snowmobiles, then our range is massively wider. The distances become shorter, so we can reach and explore more mountain ranges and valleys, as well as head to mountains with even more impregnable summit views, immaculate snow and total solitude. The ski and snowmobile version of this tour is the perfect option if you’re keen on exploring more of Svalbard, and gives you the chance to discover some of the hidden gems our Arctic home has to offer. You can even choose whether you want to drive your own snowmobile or be a passenger with our guide!
