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.

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.
