INFO<br />
The duration of our activities includes<br />
the time to gear-up / dressup,<br />
safety briefings and transfers to<br />
departure points.<br />
The Ilulissat Icefiord, a UNESCO world heritage site, is<br />
as beautiful it is as inaccessible in the middle of<br />
the <strong>Arctic</strong> winter. This unique natural phenomenon<br />
pushes out 20 million tons of ice every day, in form<br />
of gigantic icebergs that can rise up to 100 meters<br />
above the sea level. Take this unique opportunity<br />
and join our guided hike with snowshoes to explore<br />
remote spots with unbeatable scenery.<br />
Using snowshoes and ski poles is a comfortable way<br />
to hike in winter conditions. Plus, the knowledge and<br />
experience of our guides will help you to make the<br />
best of this trip. Choosing the best viewpoints for<br />
sightseeing and pictures, managing the route according<br />
the weather conditions, relevant information<br />
about the flora and the fauna, and many stories<br />
about the present and the past of <strong>Greenland</strong> and its<br />
inhabitants.<br />
As we put our feet in a UNESCO World Heritage Site,<br />
we will ascend between walls covered with snow and<br />
ice, enjoy the magnified panorama of the “dogs<br />
sledge highway”, see frozen lakes and rivers and icebergs<br />
shining under the beautiful golden winter light.<br />
To recover energies, we will take a break to eat our<br />
meal, sandwich and hot soup make locally with local<br />
ingredients. We will continue hiking until the old<br />
settlement of Sermermiut, where the first Inuit<br />
people arrived 4000 years ago, 10 minutes away from<br />
Ilulissat.<br />
*No previous experience is required, but it is strongly<br />
recommended a minimum level of fitness. Anyone<br />
used to hike or other sports can learn how to move in<br />
winter terrain with snowshoes and ski poles.<br />
Note: please not that due to unpredictable weather<br />
conditions during winter, the itinerary of this tour is<br />
subject to change. While it is our goal to deliver the<br />
best tour experience possible, the safety of our<br />
clients is always our first priority.<br />
