Svalbard Skiing: Sail into the Arctic for the Ultimate Backcountry Adventure

For those looking to ski at the edge of the world, Svalbard skiing offers a rare and unforgettable experience. This Arctic expedition combines remote, untouched terrain with life aboard the Noorderlicht a century-old sailing vessel uniquely suited for navigating ice-filled fjords and accessing pristine ski zones across the archipelago. 

Spring Weather & Conditions 

Svalbard’s spring season from mid-April through May offers some of the most stable conditions of the year. Expect light winds, periods of sun, and temperatures ranging from -5 to 0°C. Long daylight hours allow for extended ski missions in magical Arctic light. 

Trip Details 

Each trip includes 7 nights aboard the sailboat and 3 nights in a cozy BnB in Longyearbyen. Guided by a 1:6 ratio, you’ll explore Svalbard’s alpine terrain with full support from experienced crew and guides. While flights, gear, and insurance are not included, all meals aboard the boat, sailing instruction, and expert logistics are covered. 

Ready for the Arctic? 

Svalbard skiing is raw, remote, and deeply rewarding. It’s for those who want more than just good snow it’s for those who seek a connection to the wilderness, to history, and to something truly different. With Expedition Engineering guiding the way, this is Arctic adventure at its finest.
