Svalbard’s wild landscapes are not just for looking at. And, on this expert-led excursion, you’ll get right among its unique geography, heading out among the Longyear Valley’s moraine severity. Of course, the chance to walk over white expanse of the Lars Glacier is a particular highlight, especially given that it’s entirely solid and safe. Your hike will also take you to the distinctive Trollsteinen rock formation, before bringing you up to Nybyen. At 849m above sea level, you’ll be treated to some gorgeous, sweeping views, along with a well-deserved lunch taken in a sheltered hidey-hole. Further inclusions range from return accommodation transfers to hot drinks and all necessary safety equipment.
