New Years at Funken Lodge

Ring in the New Year at the top of the world, surrounded by polar night, shimmering northern lights, and Arctic silence. At Funken Lodge, you’ll enjoy refined comfort and festive charm, perfectly paired with unforgettable adventures like dogsledding and a Northern Lights Safari by Snowcat. As midnight nears, gather with fellow guests to toast the new year from the warmth of Svalbard’s most elegant hideaway.

  • Celebrate the season of new beginnings with an Arctic experience like no other. As part of this New Year’s package, step aboard the heated Snowcat and journey into the Arctic wilderness, where the town lights fade, and the polar night reveals its deep, endless sky. Wrapped in silence and darkness, you’ll scan the sky for signs of green light. Whether the aurora appears or not, the magic of the polar night leaves a lasting impression.

  • Few experiences feel more genuinely Arctic than dogsledding through the twilight of Svalbard’s polar night. With only the glow of headlamps - and hopefully the northern lights - you’ll travel like generations of explorers before you, being pulled by a loyal team of huskies. A must-do experience for those seeking authenticity and wonder, you will end the night at the kennel with waffles, warmth, and cuddles with the next generation of sled dogs.
