Greenland is the largest island in the world that is not a continent with the majority of the island located above the Arctic Circle. The ski touring in West Greenland is considered to be one of the last frontiers of ski touring. It is a difficult place to reach, but the solitude and remote pristine mountains make it well worth the effort. Along its rugged west coast lies Maniitsoq, a small town of about 2,500 residents—our gateway to one of the most spectacular ski touring regions on Earth.
Day 1 – Arrival & Departure into Eternity Fjord
Upon arrival in the town of Maniitsoq, we will board and settle into the ship M/V Terschelling, meet the crew, and attend a safety briefing. If time allows, we’ll go for an evening ski before beginning our journey into Eternity Fjord.
Days 2–6 – Ski Touring the Fjords
We will spend six full days exploring the terrain north of Maniitsoq, including Eternity Fjord and beyond Kangaamiut Village. Each day will bring new ski objectives. With the mobility of our vessel, we have endless opportunities to anchor at ideal ski locations.
Day 7 – Final Ski & Return to Maniitsoq
We’ll enjoy a final day of skiing near Maniitsoq. In the late afternoon, we’ll return to town and spend our last night onboard M/V Terschillig in Maniitsoq Harbour.
Day 8 – Departure
After breakfast, we’ll disembark M/V Terschilling and transfer to the airport for departure.
The first night of our trip will be spent in a basic cabin in the small fishing village of Kuummiut, Greenland. The cabin does not have running water and provides an outhouse for the toilet. There will be an opportunity to take a hot shower at the community center if needed. Kuummiut is a traditional Greenlandic village with colourful houses dotting the white landscape along the ocean. This is a wonderful opportunity to have a look into the traditional way of life in Eastern Greenland.
The bulk of our trip will be spent at a remote mountain hut 5 hours by dog sled from the village of Kuummiut. The hut is located in deep in the Greenlandic mountains in an unreal setting. The hut is small, but will comfortably sleep 10 people. There is diesel heat and a propane stove for cooking. There are some large windows in the hut and a great deck with incredible views. Even the view from the outhouse doesn’t disappoint.
The final night of our trip will be spent in a three star hotel in Kulusuk with views of both the mountains and the ocean. Each of the rooms are double occupancy with twins beds and include ensuite bathroom with hot showers. There is also a restaurant and small bar in the hotel.
6 guest cabins with two twin beds.
Each cabin has its own en-suite bathroom with shower, toilet and wash basin.
The large saloon area is perfect to relax and hang out, play games, music, or find your own space to watch the
world go by.
