Part of our mining heritage. On the edge of the Arctic Wilderness

Welcome to Coal Miners' Cabins

Step into the history of Svalbard’s rugged past at Coal Miners’ Cabin. Nestled in Nybyen—Longyearbyen’s former mining outpost—this cosy retreat was once home to the coal miners of Mine 2, established in the 1940s. Today, those very same barracks offer warmth, comfort, and a front-row seat to the wild Arctic wilderness on your doorstep.
