Description

Experience the raw beauty of Greenland on a unique sailing and ski-touring adventure.

Aboard the Southern Star, a comfortable sailing yacht, you'll navigate the wild fjords of the west coast to reach the inaccessible heart of Eternity Fjord—a true skier's paradise.

Aboard the Southern Star—a fully equipped sailboat with cozy double cabins, a dining area, and functional common spaces—we’ll sail through Greenland's west coast fjords, reaching spots that are inaccessible by land. Each day, we'll set off on a new ski adventure in the mountains of Eternity Fjord, surrounded by spectacular Arctic scenery.

Jordi will guide us through this exclusive polar expedition, combining sailing, exploration, and top-tier skiing in a tight-knit group setting. After safety briefings, we’ll head out by RIB to our skiing destinations, with routes selected based on the best snow conditions and weather. After a delicious Arctic picnic, we’ll return to the Southern Star for appetizers, dinners crafted from local ingredients, and evening conversations by the frozen sea.

In Greenland, skiing is an experience like no other—mountains rising directly from the sea, with routes that let you ski from the sand to the snow-covered peaks.

Each day is tailored to suit the group, with Jordi's expertise and the crew’s local knowledge ensuring a personalized adventure every step of the way.

Join us on an exclusive sailing and ski-touring expedition through the wild fjords of Greenland.

    What people are saying about B4Experience

    Awesome week!! The place, the company, and Núria who gives off such great vibes!!!!

    Brutal experience!

    An incredible experience led by Nuria Picas, who was excellent in her sporting skills and also demonstrated great knowledge of Montblanc.

    100% Recommended! A week-long experience with a group of 15 mountain enthusiasts, led by world-renowned expert Nuria Picas, who stands out not only for her professionalism and talent but also for her warmth and personal touch. She fostered a fantastic atmosphere within the group, making all participants feel included. This activity is highly recommended, both for exploring the Tour du Mont Blanc and for preparing for the UTMB race, as well as for disconnecting for a few days, meeting people with similar interests, and learning from others, which is always incredibly enriching. Special mention must be made of the warm and friendly service from the entire b4experience team, who ensured we had everything we needed so we could focus solely on running and enjoying each day.

    The best experience of my life. Superbly organized, Núria Picas gets a 10/10, 100% recommended.
