Planning a weekend next summer and it looks so close to the village.
I recommend you double check if this route is walkable. Not due to the distance, but due to the presence of polar bears. It's in fact not recommended to walk outside Longyearbyens town center without a gun or an armed guide. Each years still some people actually get attacked by these animals, which might be a lethal encounter...
