A week in the Eternity Fjord
We take you to the west coast of Greenland for a week, between Maniitsoq and the Eternity Fjord, on a Greenland skiing trip aboard our boat. Each day the Zodiac lands you on the shore, you skin up from sea level, then ski all the way back down to the ocean, close to the glaciers.

Other dates, or your own group
The season runs from April to May, once Maniitsoq harbour is clear of ice. Depending on your off-piste experience and what you hope for from the week, we can quote for a tailor-made trip, on other dates or for your own group.
A question about this ski and sail trip to Greenland? We’ll reply within 24 hours.
Greenland skiing: the world’s largest island, between ice and ocean
The largest island in the world, Greenland covers 2.2 million km², 1.7 million of them beneath the ice sheet, and is home to around 57,000 people. Alpine ranges fringe the ice sheet, rising to 3,694 m at Gunnbjørn Fjeld, with glaciers flowing between the peaks; the icebergs they calve drift offshore on the currents.
Your trip begins in Maniitsoq, a small Inuit town on the south-west coast, tucked into the mouth of a fjord ringed by high, steep mountains. Once the harbour clears of ice, from April onwards, you may spot whales offshore.
Our boat, a floating base camp
All week you live aboard our boat, sharing a double cabin, on full board. The crew looks after the navigation and a chef cooks the meals: the boat becomes your base camp, from one anchorage to the next.
From Maniitsoq we head north up the coast, with a stop at Kangaamiut, to the mouth of the Eternity Fjord. From the deck you take in islands, fjords, glaciers and huge icebergs, with a few summits of over 2,000 m dropping straight into the sea.
Ski and sail: from the Zodiac to the summit, on skins
Each morning the Zodiac drops you at the foot of the slopes. The climbs start at sea level and take you, in 3 to 6 hours, up 800 to 1,300 m of vertical, towards slender ridges or wide open faces. Then you ski light, untracked snow all the way down to the shore, where the Zodiac is waiting.
Routes are chosen each morning according to the weather, the sea ice, the snow, and how the group feels and what it fancies. That is the whole spirit of ski and sail: the boat takes you wherever the snow is best that day.
Your evenings on board
Evenings on board, heading for the next anchorage
At the shore, the Zodiac takes you back to the boat. A snack is waiting when you return from the day, then there is time to unwind before a dinner cooked by the chef.
Meanwhile the boat weighs anchor and carries you on to the next anchorage. The Eternity Fjord lives up to its name, its walls plunging into dark water and its glaciers calving in silence. In the evening the group gathers round the same table, everyone tells the story of their day, and the Arctic light lingers late over the fjord.
Between outings, you get a glimpse of Inuit life in Maniitsoq and in Kangaamiut, where the boat puts in.
The programme
Your ski touring week in Greenland, day by day
The day before
Meet in Copenhagen in the evening, at the hotel whose details we send you, for dinner and the night; the next morning, the flight to Maniitsoq leaves at 9 am and lands at 2.10 pm.
Day 1
Copenhagen – Maniitsoq flight with Air Greenland. Welcome on board, settling in and safety briefing, then the first miles towards the mouth of the fjord and dinner on board.
Days 2 to 7
Six days of ski touring as we work north up the coast towards the Eternity Fjord: climbs from the shore, runs all the way down to the ocean, close to the glaciers. The route adapts each day to the snow, the weather and the ice.
Day 8
Last breakfast on board, disembarkation in Maniitsoq and the 8.25 am flight back via Kangerlussuaq, arriving in Copenhagen at 8 pm. Dinner and a night in town, then home to your own airport the next day.
The programme is indicative: each stop depends on the weather and the ice, and it may change with the snow, the level of the group and your wishes, for everyone’s safety and enjoyment; the guide has the final word.

A word from our founder
From Maniitsoq, the boat takes you each day wherever the snow is good. You skin up facing the icebergs, ski all the way down to the sea, then watch the glaciers slip past from the deck before an evening on board. This week is for off-piste skiers and ski tourers drawn to the polar regions, and to the Inuit culture of Maniitsoq and Kangaamiut.

Greenland skiing: your questions
Is there skiing in Greenland?
Yes, in April and May, on the west coast, where summits of over 2,000 m drop straight into the sea. With us, you go ski touring from a boat: each morning the Zodiac sets you ashore, you skin up from sea level and ski back down to the ocean. The trip lasts 8 days, with 6 days of skiing, from Maniitsoq.
When is the best time to go skiing in Greenland?
April and May. From April, Maniitsoq harbour clears of ice and the runs still reach all the way down to the sea. Our 2027 departure is in April; exact dates are on request.
What level of skiing do I need for this Greenland trip?
A strong, self-reliant off-piste skier, at ease in deep snow, with ski touring experience: technical level 3/5 and fitness level 3/5. Allow 3 to 6 hours of skinning a day, for 800 to 1,300 m of vertical. To check where you stand: your off-piste skiing level and your ski touring fitness level.
How do I get to Maniitsoq?
By air via Copenhagen. Allow around €150 to Copenhagen from major European cities, then around €1,300 for the Copenhagen – Maniitsoq return with Air Greenland. Plan a night in Copenhagen the evening before departure and another on the way home, which goes via Kangerlussuaq.
How much does a ski trip to Greenland cost?
€8,500 per person, excluding flights. The price covers the 7 nights on board on full board, guiding, navigation, Zodiac landings and safety kit (avalanche airbag pack, transceiver, shovel and probe). Add around €1,450 for flights from Europe, the nights in Copenhagen and your insurance.
How does a ski and sail trip in Greenland work?
The boat is your base camp: you sleep and eat on board, and each day it takes you to new slopes. In the morning the Zodiac sets you ashore for the climb on skins; in the evening, over dinner, the boat moves on to the next anchorage, working north from Maniitsoq towards the Eternity Fjord.
How do I book this Greenland ski trip?
Write to us by email or on WhatsApp and we’ll reply within 24 hours. The boat takes twelve skiers at most, so you can hold an option first. The booking is confirmed with a 60% deposit plus the price of the Copenhagen – Maniitsoq flight; the balance is due no later than three months before departure.
