Description

Maniitsoq is a beautiful town in Western Greenland at the South of the Arctic Circle. Because of its low population and unique nature its landscapes are of an indescribable beauty. Maniitsoq is also a great whale watching and heliboarding and heliskiing destination. Of course, it does require some logistics and guidance to do these activities, which is where we come in**. On this eight day heliboarding and splitboarding adventure in Maniitsoq I will show you around this breathtaking and remote spot** in the North!

To get to Maniitsoq you will have to fly in from Copenhagen. Although it is not included in our itinerary, you might want to spend a few days there too! Once in Maniitsoq we will have the chance to explore different ascents and descents on our snowboards or skiis. We will kick off the day with a helicopter that will take us to some stunning mountains in the west coast and then take it from there**. As we skid down the lovely white snow we will have breathtaking views of glaciers and of the sea!** Then at night, we will return to the Maniitsoq hotel which overlooks the harbor.

Of course, for this trip you will need some previous snowboarding experience. And, logically good fitness is also a requirement. Groups however will be reduced, no more than four people per snowboard/ski group, so attention will be very personalised. I will happily assist you with anything you need and show you around!

Are you ready for a unique heliboarding tour in a remote and breathtaking location? Then book your place now and join me on this heliboarding and splitboarding adventure in Maniitsoq!

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
