Despite being the world’s largest island, 3 quarters of Greenland is covered in ice. Much of what isn’t ice is mountains, which makes it a skiing paradise. Greenland is also a wild place though, which means you need the Heliski Greenland guides if you want to take advantage of everything possible on a visit.
Greenland is well known for its geothermal hotsprings. Yet, the mountain ranges that soar above this region in the arctic absolutely spectacular. Greenland is home to some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the world thanks to its northern latitude, steep mountains that line the coasts, and the consistent snowfall the creates a deep and stable snowpack which is less likely to avalanche than elsewhere.
Greenland is most famous for its fjords that are lined with mountains that rise as high as 3,200 meters above sea level. With a helicopter, those mountains turn into slopes with thousands of meters of skiable terrain. In some cases, you can ski all the way down from the summit to the seashore in one run! On top of that, Greenland is covered by the midnight sun in spring and early summer which means you have more than enough daylight to ski!
Of course, Greenland is massive, so traditional ski touring means you’ll miss out on most of the best skiing there. That’s where the Heliski Greenland guides come in.
