Greenland

Fly Over Frozen Fjords And Land On Untouched Glaciers

Arctic Heli Skiing brings you to one of the last true frontiers of skiing on Greenland's remote east coast, where legendary guide and explorer Kevin Boekholt leads you into terrain few have ever seen.

The region of Ammassalik covers an area of approximately 250.000 Km2 and is well known for its jagged peaks, deep fjords and unique Inuit culture that was only interrupted about a hundred years ago by European explorers for the first time.

The local population of only about 2500 people in the entire region and the area's Inuit culture remains deeply rooted, with traditions like dog sledding still alive today.

Ski untouched snow capped peaks, towering over the frozen landscapes of towering icebergs, fjords and islands.

The nature of the area is also no less than spectacular with a large number of marine mammals such as whales, seals and polar bears roaming this majestic region.

The program is run out of Hotel Kulusuk on the island of Kulusuk in eastern Greenland with the hotel is situated right on the edge of the best ski terrain. Some of the closest runs are only minutes away.

2026 will be their 22nd season of operations in Greenland. Greenland is, and will continue to be one of the world's most special places to go heliskiing.

Programs Offered

• 4 Day Greenland Heliskiing Package

Name of lodge

The Kulusuk Hotel in Greenland

Location

Hotel Kulusuk is situated on the coast of Greenland's eastern-most point just down the road from Kulusuk Airport with connections to Reykjavik and Nuuk.

Mountain Range

Arctic Heli Skiing in Greenland primarily operates in the Angmagssalik/Tasiilaq region of East Greenland, with bases in Kulusuk and Tasiilaq.

Ability

It depends on a few things such as your group and program, but every skier needs to be a fit intermediate skier and be able to ski under control in off-piste terrain. Previous heli ski experience is NOT required.

Keep in mind that heli skiing does require a certain basic level of physical fitness to minimize risk and be enjoyable. We recommend that you have the basic core strength to ski in a variety of conditions. The best training you can do for skiing is skiing. It is best not to go into any extended trip without finding the time to get in a few days of skiing in advance to make sure that your feet are conditioned to your boots. We recommend that you are able to do the following:

• Ski fall line in most snow conditions (powder to wind affected snow).
• Make parallel or stem-christie turns on 35° groomed or firm snow.
• Side-slip on firm slopes up to 35°.
• Ski black diamond runs at ski areas efficiently and in most snow conditions.

*If you are concerned about being joined with other skiers of different abilities then we recommend joining a Private program.

Typical Itinerary

Day 1 Arrival Day

Late morning flight from Keflavik airport in Iceland (KEF) to Kulusuk Greenland where we will arrive around noon. The 1.5hr flight from Iceland can offer amazing views of the east coast as we approach. On the ground in Greenland we will meet up with our guides and be taken to the Kulusuk Hotel only minutes away from the airport. Once settled in, we will go over the weeks agenda with our guides, be briefed on local conditions as well as receive the avalanche safety training and emergency procedures briefing before heading out for our first afternoon of skiing.

Day 2-7

First descents, adventure and exploration is the name of the game. Every day we will get the chance to fly out over frozen fjords and ski amazing lines right down to the white sheet of the pack ice where your helicopter awaits. On our flights to and from skiing each day we might even spot a polar bear roaming the rugged beauty of the Greenlandic landscape. Evenings and nights are spent in the comforts of Hotel Kulusuk where we may get the chance to sample some local cuisine as well as enjoy performances by local drum dancers.

Day 8 Departure Day

We pack our bags, say our good byes but we are already thinking about returning to the magic mountains of Greenland. Our flight back to Iceland leaves around 13:00 and we arrive in Keflavik around 17:30 hrs. A night in Keflavik or nearby Reykjavik might be required as most international flights will have left by the time we arrive in Iceland.

PLEASE NOTE

Greenland can be very unpredictable in terms of weather. It is a remote location with few means of transportation to and from the country. Please be advised that flights can be delayed and you should be prepared to be flexible with your dates or at least be prepared to be delayed on arrival or departure.

About the Lodge

We stay at the Kulusuk Hotel in Greenland, based on single accommodation. Kulusuk is a small village with limited accommodation so this is the only settlement hotel available in the area, and while it is a basic hotel it is comfortable and well managed as well as offering amazing views of the area.
