Description
I invite you to the first heliski base camp in Greenland. Enjoy this heliskiing guided trip around the best fjords of the Arctic Circle!
Greenland has unique landscapes that will make you fall in love as soon as you get out of the helicopter. Untouched snow terrains, ocean, glaciers and the Eternity Fjord are the perfect setting for this once in a lifetime adventure.
During this 8-day trip, we’ll be based on the west coast of Maniitsoq, a small island with colorful houses.
As peaks exceed 2000 m of height, you’ll be skiing down from a really high altitude. Furthermore, you’ll have the stunning blue sea on your side all the time. And you may even see some whales!
Either on a speedboat or on a helicopter, we’ll reach different spots of the Greenland archipelago every day. Besides, we’ll go off piste skiing in wild and remote areas. During the afternoons, you can enjoy some ski touring or snowboarding.
You can find some extra details on this trip below this description.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
