A historical travel along the west coast of Spitsbergen! Join on an adventure along the west coast of Spitsbergen, where you will pass mining settlements, run down trappers’ stations and modern scientific installations.

In Svalbard you meet some Eastern neighbors when driving west. 60 kilometers from Longyearbyen you'll find Barentsburg among other places which you’ll pass through. The trip takes you through grand valleys and along the beautiful coast of Spitsbergen. The terrain is relatively easy to drive and yout experienced guides will adapt the trip also to those who are new to snowmobiles. You will drive in terrain that has throughout history been used by trappers, whale hunters, miners and scientists, and still is. This will be a snowmobile trip back in time to when the world was divided between east and west.

As you enter Barentsburg you can still read “Our goal – communism!” written with large letters. You will take a break in Barentsburg and a walk trough the city. Be aware that you will not access any of the cities facilities or buildings, and it will not be possible to purchase any souvenirs or any other things during the time you spend in this settlement.

You will do several stops on your way and learn about the nature and historical remains that you encounter. This also provides you with good opportunities for taking pictures. During the day you will also find a nice place to sit down and enjoy some homemade treats. If weather and time permits, you may also have a short stop at Colesbay.

Book your snowmobile tour now and take a step back in time through the layered past and present of the Arctic with this historical snowmobiling along the west coast of Spitsbergen!

Es war eine super spannende und interessante Tour nach Klein-Russland! Kann ich nur empfehlen! Die Tour bis in die Stadt war etwas anspruchsvoller, aber trotzdem für einen Anfänger (wie wir) gut machbar und war somit dann auch ein richtiges Abenteuer.
