Northern Lights Winter at Funken Lodge

Witness the magic of the Northern Lights in comfort, on this tailored package at Funken Lodge. Perched above the town and steeped in history, the hotel offers a cosy yet luxurious retreat after numerous adventures into the Polar Night in search of the Aurora Borealis. With gourmet dining, soothing sauna sessions, and beautifully appointed rooms, your northern lights journey will be as much about where you stay as what you see.

• Step into the Arctic wilderness and in search of the Northern Lights, on this evening at the historic Camp Barentz, a replica of Willem Barentz's cabin - the first explorer to reach these shores. During your stay, hear stories on the history of these islands and other Arctic explorers, learn about the magical Northern Lights and enjoy dinner next to the roaring fire. Hopefully, we will end the night with the dancing green lights of the Aurora Borealis overhead.

• 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.
