Hotel Pyramiden is seasonally open since 2013 - with half or full board. Located near spectacular Glacier Camp vis-a-vis next to the impressive ice front of Nordenskiöld glacier. Has 38 Twin and 5 Suite rooms. Newly-refurnished rooms are each equipped with toilet and shower.

Welcome to Pyramiden Restaurant - a special place with peculiar Soviet atmosphere and great food! The menu is specially designed to feed people who have had an exciting day out in Svalbard`s rough nature. In addition we like to offer a playful menu based on authentic Russian specialties. We also offer banquet menu for groups and special occasions, with skillfully composed choice.

Locals call Pyramiden a time-travel machine as the settlement was preserved really well due to the arctic climate, so visitors feel the real atmosphere of the Soviet Union, as if the town was left just a couple of days ago. This is why the excursion through the town visiting the old canteen, swimming pool and the Cultural Palace is a must-see. Though pay attention that normally the buildings are closed and visitors are not allowed to get inside not being accompanied with a guide.

Pyramiden is becoming famous for its hikes as there are more then 15 routes from the hotel for any level and interest. Industrial Soviet constructions, different huts and of course beautiful mountains and waterfalls. Visitors and hikers either need to use the local guide's services or have necessary equipment and a gun with them to stay safe. Most of the routes are well described by local mountain guide and you may request the brochure in the hotel.
