Description

Discover the last great wilderness in the world. Join me for an exciting 10-day adventure and enjoy 7 full days of skiing and sailing in the Polar Circle, along the south-west coast of Greenland.

This trip will take you to impressive settings of nature, almost untouched by man.

After an evening in Copenhagen and the long flight westwards, the starting point of this exciting week of ski touring will be Nuuk. The small capital of Greenland lies at the southern tip of the island, at the mouth of a deep fjord surrounded by mountains.

During this adventure, we’ll explore the coast northwards, anchoring in a different bay each evening.

In our search for the best runs and snow, we may find deep powder as well as delicious and easy spring snow.

Besides, we'll stay on a refurbished trawler specially adapted for Polar cruises. This will be our warm and comfortable home during the trip.

Our warm and comfortable home during the trip will be a sturdy sailing boat specially adapted for Polar cruises, under the safe guidance of a seasoned skipper with several round-the-world trips under his belt

From the deck you'll see a breathtaking landscape of islands, fjords, impressive glaciers, icebergs and mountains rising directly from the sea, with peaks above 2000 m.

The easy ascents begin at sea level and go up to 800 to 1300 m. At the end of a climbing day, vast virgin slopes will bring you back to the shore, where the Zodiac awaits.

Back on board, there'll be time to relax in the privacy of your cabin. Or even to discuss the day around a drink in the saloon, while the boat quietly departs for the next destination.

Please contact me if you want to join me for this amazing trip in Greenland. I will be happy to be your guide for this unique experience!

You can also check other ski touring programs I offer in other impressive destinations like Kamchatka and Lofoten, in Norway.

About the guide

Goulven

Mountain Guide

With my name I can’t make you believe that I am mountaineer of origin! I am a breton migrant worker who was stranded in the Pyrénées and later in the Alps…
What I like most of my job is the incredible mountain’s support to weave the real relationships in a short time and often the quality with people whom I guide to these beautiful summits. It is with a great pleasure that I put at your disposal my 25 years of experience in the climbing, mountaineering and skiing playgrounds to guide you in your adventure projects. I am also ski instructor and mountain rescuer. See you soon!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.

Joshua

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.
