Whether you’re based on a floating base camp in the Maniitsoq and Kangaamiut archipelago, starting your days at the base of 6000 feet of vertical, or you prefer the beautiful 180 km haul along the Arctic Circle Trail, there’s more backcountry out there than you can cover in several lifetimes.
The open valleys east of Sisimiut and the wide expanses west of Kangerlussuaq, the jagged peaks in the Hamburg Sound and the huts at the top of the Apussuit glacier are just a few of the places you can travel on skis.
So bring your best fitness level, your desire to explore remote mountain ranges, and join the accomplished, professional guides in search of the next trailless expanse or that special slope of untouched powder.
Apussuit provides plenty of routes for pleasant tour skiing, while nearby peaks are food for hungry heliskiers who can use the mountain huts as their basecamp while exploring the enormous, pristine hinterland.
If you’re already in Nuuk, why not treat yourself to a couple of adventurous days in Greenland’s second largest town, Sisimiut.
If you’re looking for a combined skitouring and heliskiing experience we can build itineraries that fit with your level of fitness, budget, and need for speed.
Here’s your unique chance to combine a trip to the Arctic Circle in Greenland with a full blown backcountry adventure and hands on Winter expedition training.
Accessibility is the name of the game around Sisimiut, and you can get into really wild, remote mountains just by jumping on a snowmobile or catching a dogsled into the backcountry. Backcountry huts can extend your stay in the Sisimiut area, and if you want bed and breakst style comfort and your own floating basecamp the Kisaq minicruiser does several trips in the Maniitsoq and Kangaamiut areas throughout the late Winter months each year. The village of Kangaamiut itself is a perfect pick for that unique Grenlandic combo of coastal skitouring in Alpine environments, Inuit culture, and staying with local families in the comfort of their cosy homes.
