Featured Locations On This Scavenger Hunt

Taubanebukken Cableway Trestle

March with us beneath the legendary wooden arms that helped a town rise from the snow. These angular sentinels stretch across the skyline, bearing stories of invention and perseverance in the face of polar odds.

Krigsminnesmerket War Memorial

This landmark honors the resilient heart of Spitsbergen. Let us meander to a site where memory and gratitude come together. The stone obelisk has watched over the Arctic landscape for generations, a silent witness to Longyearbyen's extraordinary past.

John Longyear Memorial

Salute the spirit of adventure beside the founder himself. Below the watchful gaze of John Longyear, feel the pull of ambition that sparked a whole community at the very top of the planet.

Old Coalmine Mine 2b

Veer off the beaten path to glimpse Longyearbyen's 'mountain ghost'—where rusted timbers and weathered planks tell tales of coal-streaked days and frosty nights. Here stands a symbol of both risk and reward at the edge of the Arctic.

It was good family fun. Great that you can pause to have lunch etc. was fairly easy but didn’t initially realise clues had time limits - hence missed out! Would definitely do another elsewhere.
