NORTHERN LIGHTS BY SNOWMOBILE
ABOUT
Looking for the ideal spot, far from light pollution and the bustle of civilization? Join our evening Northern Lights adventure on a snowmobile!

Away from light pollution, we'll scan the sky for the magical Northern Lights. We'll traverse vast valleys until we reach a stunning frozen waterfall. Here, sheltered from the elements, we'll enjoy warm drinks while lying back to watch the sky. Our guide will share fascinating stories about Svalbard and the enchanting Aurora.
