An expedition through the Greenland West Coast and Eternity Fjord

Spend six days aboard a sailing vessel, your access point to the remote and dramatic ski touring terrain that only Greenland can offer. Small settlements sit far apart. Fjords cut deep into the land. Calving glaciers send echoes across the water.

Aztec Lady, a 63‑foot Arctic ketch, is the platform that brings you there. Each morning begins with a fresh view. A short dinghy ride carries you to shore. Skins on. Straight into big mountains rising from sea level. Expect long climbs and equally long, flowing descents, often finishing at the water’s edge.

Weather will set the direction. Your guides will adapt each day and choose the objectives that offer the best spots for touring, aiming for the freshest snow and the most rewarding lines.
