Looking for a different way to ski in the Arctic? Discover ski touring in Greenland.

The world's largest island, four times the size of France but with only 57,000 inhabitants, Greenland has 80% of its surface permanently covered in ice. The ice cap averages 2 km in thickness and can reach up to 3 km. It is bordered by alpine peaks, culminating at 3,700 m (Gunnbjørn Fjeld), between which glaciers flow. You will be mesmerized by the spectacle of icebergs breaking off and being carried out to sea by the currents.

The first stop on your Greenland ski trip is the Inuit town of Maniitsoq on the southwest coast. Nestled at the mouth of a fjord surrounded by towering, rugged mountains, it's a perfect base for exploring the region. When the harbor is free of ice, starting in April, you might even be lucky enough to spot whales offshore. This small port will be your starting point for your journey. Through routes selected by our team of professional ski touring and off-piste skiers , we'll introduce you to the magic of the Far North.

From Maniitsoq, we'll sail north to Kekertamiut and then on to Timerdlit at the mouth of Eternity Fjord. We'll make our way north over the course of several days, searching for the best slopes and snow. From the boat, a panorama unfolds, encompassing islands, fjords, impressive glaciers, and massive icebergs, as well as several peaks over 2,000 meters high plunging directly into the sea.

The ascents begin at sea level and continue with average elevation gains of 800 to 1,300 meters. After your day of ski touring on pristine, light snow slopes amidst the spectacular landscapes of Greenland , you'll descend back to the coast, where the Zodiac will take us to the sailboat. A relaxing break will follow while you wait for the delicious dinner prepared by the chef. Meanwhile, the boat will set sail for our next port of call.
