The most unique

Heliski in the world

©Copyright Maniitsoq Adventures Incoming

Since the mid 90'ties a number of adventurous skiers have visited the Maniitsoq area to try something completely new and different. In the beginning it was mainly pro ski teams and film companies, but since 2000 the company Maniitsoq Tourist Office has organised heliski trips to Maniitsoq in co-operation with a number of international heli guides.
 
At Maniitsoq big glaciers reach all the way to the coast line and cuts through the big mountains.
  The locations are found on some of the fairly large islands and on the slopes of the long and narrow fiords north east of Maniitsoq town. On many of these locations you can ski from peak to beach.
 
A big part of the skiing experience at this location is the majestic view of glacier covered islands and the breathtaking view of the ocean (Davis Strait)
 

Mountains in this region range from 600 m to 1,700 m, but the highest mountains in Evighedsfiord area more than 2,000 m. Vertical drops of runs are from 600m up to 1,500m (4,500 feet) and terrain is suitable for intermediate to expert.
 
The season is from mid March to Mid June with early season powdersnow conditions and corn snow conditions in late season.

Almost 24 hour skiing from late April due to midnight sun.
Vegetation in Greenland is scarce, so no tree skiing.
 
The area has stable coastal snowpack with minimal risk of avalanche.
