Scenes From Your Stay
Hotel Information
The Nordenskiöld glacier is part of a larger glacier that extends all the way up to the north coast of Spitsbergen. This is as far as one can reach with motorized vehicles. From here it is ski or dog sledding that applies if you want to continue the journey. In the summer we arrive at Nordenskiöld Lodge by boat, and in the winter we go on a snowmobile or dog sled.
The cabin is a hidden gem, which is almost impossible to see in the mighty surroundings. Interior expert Halvor Bakke has been inspired by the surroundings, and created a warm expression where the view of the glacier, the mountains and the fjord is emphasized by colors and materials in the cabin.
Nordenskiöld Lodge has only four guest rooms with comfortable beds. Here you fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the glacier! The cottage has a shower and indoor toilet. Our hosts are always present to give you the best experiences, at the pleasant dining table or around the fire with something good in the glass. They fire in the sauna and in the wood stove, make tasty food and are happy to share their Arctic knowledge.
Nordenskiöld Lodge is one of the world’s coolest places to stay! A hidden treasure in the middle of mighty Svalbard.
