Our Mission
Svalbard Trekking exists to open up the Arctic to ramblers, wanderers, backpackers, trekkers and hikers from all over the world at every age and every skill level. Svalbard Trekking specialises in rough, old-school, back-country treks through the roadless Arctic wilderness for small groups of trekkers, who wish to experience something truly authentic, while learning something new along the way.
Our Product
Our treks are simple, rugged, beautiful, and human-powered. We believe in the classic virtues of simplicity, self-reliance, and in cultivating a sense of adventure, while shamelessly indulging our wanderlust. For us, trekking is not entertainment, but a break from the world, mental hygiene, and a chance to explore a new land under our own steam.
