NOTES

i. The example itinerary allows for 4 days heli skiing, 1 days ski touring, and a one day option to snowmobile, dog sled, hunt or ice fish in the local settlement of Scoresbysund. This is based on an assumption that for example two days are non flying days on which the group could opt to go ski touring, snowmobiling, dog sledding or hunting or ice fishing.

ii. Snowmobile transportation is also available for access to the mountains and some summits as a means of reducing the overall cost.

iii. The programme is suitable for downhill skiers, ski tourers, snowboarders and Telemark skiers.

iv. For private groups this itinerary is totally flexible (weather dependent) and can be adapted to your preferences.
