Golden Autumn at Funken Lodge

Golden Autumn is one of Svalbard’s more underrated seasons – that is perfect for those wanting a quieter stay at 78° North. From September to October, the tundra turns shades of gold and rust as we move towards the winter months. But there is still much to do and enjoy in Longyearbyen. Then, after a day outdoors, return to the elegance and historic charm of Funken Lodge, where gourmet dining and relaxing sauna sessions make this autumn adventure complete.

One of the most popular activities during Golden Autumn is to set sail across the water of Isfjorden on a boat tour – this is a great opportunity to get up close to the majestic glaciers, or spot some of the unique wildlife that call this place home. A bit closer to home, there are many opportunities to explore Longyearbyen and Adventdalen on wheels, either by eBike or with Svalbard’s most loyal adventurers on an unforgettable dog sledding experience on wheels.

If you want to book a stay during this more relaxed time of year, simply select the dates you want to travel and your room, add a minimum of two activities, and you are all set. You can even save up to 30% on the cost of your accommodation!
