Ursus MaritimusKing of the Arctic

Embark on a snowmobile adventure to the awe-inspiring East Coast, where untouched nature meets frozen landscapes. Marvel at indescribable views that promise an unforgettable experience. Don’t miss out on this incredible journey.



Around 3000 polar bears inhabit the Svalbard region during winter, yet spotting these incredible creatures is no easy feat. Your best opportunity lies on the East Coast of Spitsbergen. To reach this prime location, we’ll traverse glaciers and journey through one of Svalbard’s largest valleys. Pause at the glacier summits to soak in panoramic views of Barents and Edgeøya, two secluded and uninhabited islands.

Following a lengthy yet straightforward snowmobile journey, we’ll reach the East Coast – the domain of polar bears. Vigilance is essential, as we are not authorized to actively pursue these majestic creatures. However, armed with binoculars, we may seize the chance to observe them from a safe distance.

In this realm, revel in the profound silence and the splendor of nature. Vast icebergs and sea ice stretch as far as the eye can see, while immense glacier fronts extend into the expansive sea. Welcome to the breathtaking landscapes of Svalbard.
