SVALBARD: THE WHITE DESERT

Svalbard are a unique place, inhospitable to man during the long days in the summer and even more severe during the winter time. But here you will inevitably leave your heart:

Come with us on an intensive and unique experience in Longyerbyen.

Beyond the 76° parallel north in the Arctic Circle, there is a magical place, populated by incredible and unique animals, where the light gives pastel shades from turquoise to pink and where the absence of night will give fairytale scenarios.

Because it’s the only way to reach the true wilderness, the snowmobiles take you deep into Svalbard’s untouched interior — far beyond any road, where the only traces of life might be fox tracks or the distant silhouette of a polar bear. It’s fast, thrilling, and unexpectedly meditative: just you, your machine, the cold air, and endless Arctic horizons.

With FRAMTours, you’ll be guided by experienced Arctic experts who combine safety, navigation skills, and storytelling. Every tour begins with a full briefing and gear check, and your guide will lead you across varied terrain with satellite communication and survival equipment always at hand.

You’ll journey through frozen valleys, sparkling glaciers, icy plateaus, and deep into Svalbard’s National Parks, stopping along the way at breathtaking viewpoints and historic sites like abandoned Soviet mining towns or traditional trapper cabins. Keep your eyes open, as there are opportunities to see Arctic foxes, reindeer, ptarmigan, and sometimes even polar bears, always from a safe distance and with wildlife ethics in mind.

Whether crossing frozen fjords or sharing a warm drink in a remote hut, this tour offers a true Arctic adventure — far from the noise and completely immersed in the wild beauty of the North.
