West Greenland ski tours
Discover new skiing territory
Experience the ski touring trip of a lifetime. Greenland doesn't just sound fascinating - it will exceed all your expectations.
Our 8-day ski touring trip in the rugged mountains and glaciers of West Greenland is experienced on board our comfortable ship M/V Terschelling. The area offers a huge variety of ski destinations and terrain, making each day unique, with unforgettable descents and views every single day. We return to the ship after each ski tour. As a West Greenlander, Captain Taatsi knows this area inside out. His stories about the land and its people will keep us entertained for hours as he navigates the pristine waterways.
West Greenland offers terrain for every desire and ability - and lots of it! Highlights include descents from the summit to the sea, and towards the end of the season you can even ski under the midnight sun.
Whether you're looking for an adrenaline rush on steep couloirs and challenging summits, a test of endurance on long ascents or the leisurely pace of gentle glacier skiing - there's something for everyone. The varied terrain guarantees that skiers of all levels can find their perfect adventure.
The weather in West Greenland is relatively mild. Temperatures range between -5 and +5 degrees Celsius. In spring, high air pressure usually moves in, resulting in sunny skies and light winds, but there can still be days with precipitation.
Ski tours are the main activity on board, but there are also many other activities to do during the trip. There are several sea kayaks and a stand up paddle board. We have a small fleet of dry suits for those who want to go kayaking or stand up paddle boarding on Toru on the calm fjord surrounded by high peaks.
For those who like fishing, there is fishing equipment on board and the crew will be happy to help you land an Arctic cod. There are plenty of fish. A single fishing trip is often enough to feed everyone on the ship with fresh fish.
Our conclusion about Greenland
Greenland is absolutely fascinating. It is especially beautiful from the water. That's why we travel from ski tour to ski tour on our comfortable ship. It's hard to imagine more variety and more unforgettable impressions than in the west of Greenland.

Our ship for this trip is the M/V Terschelling, a class 1 icebreaker. The ship was originally used by the coast guard in the North Sea. In the recent past, the ship has been converted to accommodate 12 passengers for winter and summer tours through the Arctic.
The M/V Terschelling offers six comfortable guest cabins, each with two single beds, closet, washbasin and personal shelves in every room.
The lounge and dining areas offer plenty of space to sit together with the group or find your own place to enjoy the place. The sauna and whirlpool are ideal for relaxing after a long day of skiing.
