\n\t\t\t\tHave you already been on a ski holiday and seen Berlin? Perhaps it\u2019s time to think outside the box? Longyearbyen may sound extreme, but it is much more accessible than people think. Comfortable, too. The experience of travelling further north than anywhere else, however, is guaranteed. \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n

Longyearbyen is both an Arctic outpost and a small town, with a population of 2,400 people and all the amenities. This is as far north as it\u2019s possible to get on a commercial plane. If you want to go even further north, you need to plan an expedition. A trip to Svalbard, however, is a breeze to plan, and the destination is accessible to anyone. Bring all of your friends for a fun experience! Here, you can do things you probably never do at home, such as snowmobiling, dog sledding and ice cave tours. At the same time, we also recommend setting aside enough time to relax, eat well and enjoy each other\u2019s company. Very few places can offer as much outdoor fun as Svalbard, which means the relaxation afterward feels extra lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northern lights, polar nights and midnight sun, the light here is never boring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Near the top of our planet, light conditions are extreme. In late August, the midnight sun dips below the horizon, and it is not long until dark nights set in. In October, the light is low, bathing the landscapes in golden hues. From 26 October, the sun fails to climb above the horizon in the south, but it\u2019s not yet dark round the clock. The twilight of the polar night is a play of colours, tinting mountains in hues of pink, silver and gold. Right before dark, fjords and mountains bathe in a wonderful, blue translucent light. <\/p>\n\n\n\t
