Winter in Ittoqqortoormiit | 5 Days | East Greenland

Far away, north-east in the vast country of Greenland, lies Ittoqqortoormiit. A village of colorful houses on the coast, surrounded by mountains - and in wintertime a lot of snow. The trip starts in Iceland, from where you fly far to the north, first on an airplane and then change to helicopter, to reach the village.

This trip to Ittoqqortoormiit village will give you an unique opportunity to observe and learn of the life in a typical Inuit village, where dogsledding still is an important means of transportation and hunting is still important to the existence of the small community of around 450 people.

There is a choice of different activities which you can take part in during your stay in Ittoqqortoormiit or simply relax and enjoy the tranquility of life in the Arctic.

Additional Information

• Most airlines allow 20kg of luggage weight. So it is good to know what you really will need for your journey. But, of course, this depends on what you are planning to do and when. A general list of what to bring, is described above. A 3-layer structure is adequate for this tour, whereby each has its own specialized purpose: a moisture transfer base layer next to your skin, then one or more adjustable insulating layers, and finally an outer shell to protect you from rain and wind. It is possible to arrange dogsledge transfer from/to Constable Point instead of helicopter - ask for price! For optional tours and purchases it is best to have DKK (Danish Kroners). Cash withdrawal with credit cards is available at the local post office. Polar Bears are not strangers to this part of the world. When you decide to go off on your own, please let someone know about your programme, and at all times carry signal flares when walking alone. They can be purchased at the KNI store in Ittoqqortoormiit. The price per person is based on double/twin room with shared facilities. You will need to arrive in Iceland the day before your flight to Greenland and stay overnight in Reykjavik also after the tour. Accommodation for these two nights is not included in the package. NOTICE: Terms and conditions for this tour, can be found in the supplier description.
