If you are planning on visiting Svalbard soley to experience snowmobiling in the Arctic, you shouldn’t plan your visit for later than the beginning of May. The weather is hard to forecast, but sometimes the winter begins to loosen its grip on Longyearbyen during this month, and that brings with it the end of the snowmobiling season. For all other visitors it is a fantastic and light month, and a favourite for those who wish to take part in our longer skiing expeditions. On May 17, Longyearbyen comes together for the national day of Norway, with many traditional costumes to be seen. This date also marks the official start of our Polar summer.
