Because it takes you truly "at the end of the world", this week-long journey is for explorers in the soul, travelers seeking new territories and exclusive experiences, far from everything and far from the world. Beyond the Arctic Circle, even beyond the North Cape, Spitzberg is the largest island in the Svalbard Archipelago. A land of mystery, formerly reserved for trappers and whalers, this extreme tip in the north of Norway is gradually opening up to a few privileged travelers, without losing its proud character and natural size. It is THE Great North, that of explorers, scientists but also polar bears - and all abundant and spectacular wildlife: walruses, reindeers, seals and other swarms of seabirds. The winter travel season stretches here from mid-February, with the end of the polar night, until mid-April, marked by the beginning of the midnight sun. A season conducive to the discovery of Arctic Norway under the prism of Nordic activities: take off on a snowmobile safari, experience being a musher behind a dog sled, watch the aurora borealis... Not to mention the moments of relaxation with a cozy duvet, a fragrant grog and an evening sauna.
