Summer nature holidays - 7 -
Sassenfjord

Itinerary (1)

Day 1 :
Fly from Paris to Longyearbyen.

Day 2 :
Acclimatisation in Longyearbyen, quick visit of this Norwegian town of the Far North. Distribution and verification of equipment before departure.

Day 3 :
Boat transfer to Bjonapynten, a small creek at the foot of the Tempel Mountain, an imposing wall of stone standing like a cathedral. We set up camp. Handover of kayaks, with kayaking for a few hours.

Days 4 to 10 :
A week of autonomy to discover at your own pace the solemn bay of Tempelfjord and the amazing fjord of Sassen, which is shaped by its basalt slides. We take the time to open ourselves to the Polar world, to criss cross the Arctic in depth, to get to grips with this elusive parcel of infinity, to contemplate the off-season light and unique brightness.

We return to Longyearbyen by kayak, following the banks via a wild coast, which is formed by a succession of small creeks, following an abrupt, tormented cliff, before opening up into the small fjord of the Polar town.

Days 10 to 11 :
Hike on the plateaux around Longyearbyen (stand-by day in case of bad weather) discovering great wild expanses and fauna.

Day 12 :
Fly from Longyearbyen to Paris.

The September itinerary includes an extra day.
