Begin your hike in Nybyen, at the upper end of Longyearbyen. From here, make your way into the valley and towards Sarkofagen, the mountain situated between Larsbreen and Longyearbreen.

Follow a route that takes you through varied Arctic terrain, including riverbeds, moraine, loose rock, and steeper mountain sections. Depending on the season and current conditions, parts of the route may also take you across or alongside glacier ice.

Continue around Sarkofagen, gaining approximately 500 metres of elevation along the way. Admire changing views of Larsbreen, Longyearbreen, Longyearbyen, and the surrounding valleys and mountains. On clear days, enjoy views towards Isfjorden.

During the hike, your guide will share information about the glaciers, geology, local wildlife, and the mining history that has shaped the area around Longyearbyen. Stop along the way for a warm lunch, hot drinks, and short breaks before continuing the route back towards Longyearbyen.
