Travel program

Day 1-9: Travel program

A ski mountaineering program in one of the wildest and most fascinating regions on the planet. We are at extreme latitudes, just 700 km from the North Pole: here the polar ice pack encompasses the northern part of the island of Spitzbergen for almost the whole year, while the stupendous mountains of Atomfjella emerge from the Vesteralen glacier like mirages.
At the end of April the sun is high all day, which allows you to ski at any time, suspended in an unreal atmosphere. The program involves collaboration with a local operator for snowmobile transport to the base camp in the Atomfjella area.  On the first day we will spend the night in Longyearbyen, the next morning this incredible 180 km journey will begin from Longiearbyen through fjords and arctic tundras populated by seals and polar bears. The Atomfjella Group is a mountain massif characterized by hundreds of steep slopes and fantastic peaks, the area is famous both for its location but also for the deep skiable channels as well as for the presence of many still unclimbed peaks.
The base camp consists of a heated communal tent that is used for social activities and eating while the smaller, heated tents, decorated with reindeer skins and mattresses, will be used for sleeping. Every night there will be the need to guard the polar bear: a unique and singular experience in the company of the midnight sun.  On the last day we will return to Longiearbyen where we will spend the night and we will organize the material for the return home.
