When do you have the possibility to go to Russia just for a couple of hours? Join us for a great day out and we will give it our best to make your day as memorable as possible. The distance is approx. 55km one way.

We will cross snow covered mountains and wide valleys, drive over a glacier and pass hunting cabins. On the way we will have several stops which gives you plenty of opportunities to take pictures. We will see reindeers and with a little bit of luck we also could see the polar fox or seals.

When in Barentsburg you will be served a nice warm lunch at the hotel or brewery and after words you will be taken on a guided tour with a local guide around the town. If the snow and weather conditions allow it, we will choose a different route back to Longyearbyen.

The tour is absolutely gorgeous and quite easy to drive with both long and flat valleys but also some rugged terrain. . Previous snowmobile experience is an advantage, and a full briefing will be given before the tour starts. 

If you have any food allergies please let us know before the tour.

For our guests who need glasses we recommend to switch to contacts prior to the tour.

A valid driver’s license for car or motorbike is required to drive a snowmobile. Remember to take it with you on the tour. The passenger does not need to have a driver’s license.

We need a minimum of 2 drivers in order to do the tour.
