Practical information

Who can join?

The Ben Nevis expedition is not a piece of cake. But, with the right training, guidance and equipment, almost everyone can make it. If you are already in good physical condition, six months of training is more than sufficient. It is beneficial to have some past experience with winter camping. It is however not a requirement and we are more than happy to provide help and training prior to the expedition.

Plan




Day 1 to 3 Preperations 

After everyone has checked into their hotels and gotten sorted, we will meet and begin packing! We will spend this entire day, and the next for our preparations. On the third day we load our gear onto the boat and drive to our starting point for this adventure! 



Day 4-13 Skiing 

We are dropped of on the sea ice, in the land of polar bears, we make sure the conditions on the ice are good and ski towards the land and glaciers. We navigate up on glacier platous, through mountain passes and crevasse terrain to find the safe route North. The landscape changes every day and with sharp mountais and white glaciers its truly a sight you'll remember. 




Day 14 Summit day

Waking up after a good night sleep on the beach with a drift wood campfire and polarbear guard we gear up to hike up Ben Nevis. It will take us a full day, but hopefully the conditions are on our side and we manage to reach the summit midday. After catching our breath and enjoying the view we head back down and enjoy the last evening on the trip.



Day 15 Transport back 

We'll be picked up by boat on the North-West corner of Spitsbergen and enjoy a comfortable trip back to Longyearbyen, on the way we'll be able to see aereas we skied through and plenty of wildlife spending their summer months on the shores of Spitsbergen. Earliest departure is midday on day 16, we do however recommend you get flexible tickest in case of bad weather.
