Ammassalik Crossing (8 Days)

Cross-country skiing adventure with support on Ammassalik Island The Ammassalik Island in East Greenland is the perfect destination for a winter cross country skiing adventure. Its magnificent mountains, sharp granite peaks, and snow-covered glacier calottes decorate the landscape looming above the fjords dotted with icebergs. The friendly atmosphere of the local Inuit population and the assurance of great amount of snow make this one of the best winter adventures one can experience.
