Visit our idyllic cabin in untouched and silent Tverrdalen. The only way to get there is by foot, skis or dog sled since motorized transportation is not allowed here. This trip provides a very special opportunity to experience the Svalbard wilderness in all its splendour with the help of our furry four-legged friends. Here there is no cell phone coverage and we can take a well deserved break from the “outside” world paying 100% attention to the dogs and the wilderness.

Day number 1 goes through wide valleys and over glaciers. Lunch will be served close to a very beautiful ice cave which we will visit. Thereafter we continue over a mountain pass with spectacular views before we sled down to our cozy cabin in Tverrdalen where no other human installations exist. Here, we enjoy the warmth of the fireplace and relax with a lovely meal while our faithful huskies are placed outside around the cabin to serve as our trustful polar bear guards. When darkness arrives, the non-existing light pollution from human settlements makes this the ideal place to enjoy the northern lights and the stars! 

On day number two we will do a day tour in Tverrdalen with our dog teams, exploring this valley’s many exciting glacial and mountain formations before taking a well deserved sauna and enjoy a better meal in the evening.

Day number three, we will after a longer breakfast leave the cabin and dogsled home possible using a different route if weather and snow conditions allow for it. 

We pick you up at your accommodation in Longyearbyen at day 1 and drive to our husky kennel located 10 km outside Longyearbyen. Here, we will inform you about the trip, equipment, and safety. Then, we will dress you up in warm clothes and shoes, get the sleds ready and harness the dogs. 

The trip include 2 nights in our lodge Reinheim in Tverrdalen and arrival back in Longyearbyen on Day 3 is  between 3 and 5 pm.

You do not need any previous experience from dog sledding to participate, but you should be in average good physical shape.

The weather in the Arctic is unpredictable and can change within a few hours. With cold temperatures and wind the weather can be challenging.
