Ski touring/cat-skiing
 

The decline of the inland ice over the last centuries, has left a number of big, but isolated ice caps in the Maniitsoq area. During the summer these icecaps lies in between fiords and 2000 meter high mountains like big shiny white islands. But in winter and spring, it creates a 4000 km² skiing paradise with endless possibilities for alpine ski-touring. There are still unexplored areas waiting for first descents.
 
Ski-touring is a lot of things. From day trips on skis or snowmobile from Apussuit Adventure Camp or longer expedition like trips to some of the more remote areas.
 
We do not arrange ski touring trips ourselves but assist ski touring groups, ranging from general information on area to logistical assistance. For groups staying at Apussuit Adventure Camp it is possible to hire local guides for day trips.

Skitouring by boat is very popular in the area. Kisaq and Kissavik made week trips for maximum 12 people from April to the end of maj months.
