Would you like to ski in Denmark in a different way? Discover touring skiing in Greenland

The world's largest island, measuring four times the size of France for only 57,000 inhabitants, Greenland has 80% of its surface area permanently covered in ice. The ice cap is 2 km thick on average and can reach up to 3 km. It is bordered by mountain landscapes, culminating at 3700 m (Gunnbjørn Fjeld) between which glaciers flow. You will enjoy the hypnotic spectacle of icebergs breaking off and being carried offshore by the currents.

The first stop on your Greenland ski trip is the Inuit town of Maniitsoq on the south-west coast. It nestles at the mouth of a fjord surrounded by steep high mountains. When the harbour is ice-free from April onwards, you may be lucky enough to see whales offshore. This small port will be the starting point of your journey. We will help you discover the magic of the Great North through itineraries selected by our team of touring skiing and backcountry skiing professionals.

From Maniitsoq, we sail north to Kekertamiut and then to Timerdlit at the mouth of the Eternity Fjord. We will gradually sail up over several days in search of the best slopes and the best snow. From the boat, a panorama of islands, fjords, impressive glaciers and massive icebergs unfolds, as well as a few peaks over 2000 m high plunging directly into the sea.

The climbs start at sea level and continue for an average of 800 to 1,300 metres. After your day of <strong>touring skiing</strong> on light, virgin snow slopes in the <strong>spectacular Greenlandic landscape</strong>, you will return to the coastline, where the inflatable will ferry us to the yacht. This will be followed by a time of relaxation before the delicious dinner prepared by the chef. In the meantime, the vessel will raise the anchor to take us to the next stop.
