 What is the best time to travel to Greenland?

Summer is certainly the best time to travel to Greenland

Greenland’s entire coastal strip, especially in the south, is free of ice and snow in summer, so our hikes pass through snow-free areas of willow and dwarf birch.

Making the most of the long summer daylight hours, it is possible to undertake treks varied, with elevation changes of 50 to 550 m and around 2 to 6 hours of actual walking, all in daylight. Most routes are cross-country, as there are no tracks or trails in Greenland, but walking poses no difficulty in summer.

Greenland remains one of the wildest and most unexplored territories in the Arctic. In summer the ice formed during the long winter nights melts and allows us access to the fjords, an incomparable natural spectacle formed by the erosion of the great glaciers that existed in the times when these lands were covered with ice.
