Ski Experience Greenland skiing between icebergs and fjords
Discover the last frontier of ski touring with a unique expedition in Greenland, a frozen paradise where nature unfolds in its purest and wildest form. Here, among majestic fjords and ancient glaciers, skiing is not just a sport, it’s a deep connection to an unspoilt and remote environment, far from the crowds.
Imagine skiing down unexplored slopes, where each descent offers you a new perspective on this vast land of ice. Your base camp will be a comfortable boat, sailing through spectacular Arctic scenery. Each day you will wake up to views of mountains sculpted by time, preparing you for a different adventure. We will access peaks only reachable by sea, enjoying fresh snow and lonely descents to the coast, where silence is interrupted only by the crunch of ice beneath your feet.
This programme is not just for passionate skiers, it is for those looking for an authentic experience, combining the adrenaline of skiing with the magic of exploring one of the most remote and wildest corners of the planet. Greenland invites you to live an unforgettable journey between the ice and the sea.
Greenland
Greenland is the world’s largest island and lies at the northeastern tip of North America, between the Atlantic and the Arctic ocean. Despite being part of the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland has experienced a high degree of self-government since 1979, managing most of its internal affairs.
- Area : approximately 2 166 000 km², 80 % of which is covered by an ice sheet, the second largest in the world after Antarctica.
- Population : about 56 000 inhabitants. Most of them are
Inuit or of Inuit-Danish descent. - Climate : predominantly arctic, with extremely cold temperatures in winter and cool weather in summer. Coastal areas are more habitable due to the influence of the sea, but life is still harsh with low temperatures a major part of the year and long winter nights.
