The hike starts from the dog yard just outside of Longyearbyen. From there, we ascend the hill and follow the ridge for ~1.5 hours to an elevation of 457 meters. At the edge of the plateau, we are met with a view over Advent Valley and the fjord and will experience the peacefulness of the Arctic, while we learn about the diverse tundra ecosystem. After spending time on top of the plateau, we can either descend following the same route or through the narrow Gruve Valley, which brings us back to the starting point.
