In the northern hemisphere, only two hours by plane from Iceland, there’s a country where time seems to stand still. In Greenland everything is quite: no noise from engines or horns, no crowds in overpopulated streets. When you travel to Greenland you’ll find that everything seem to be frozen. Once summer comes, the climate offers days of endless sunshine. You might lose your bearings: you’ll be struck by the contrast of enormous glaciers alongside small fishermen’s houses. The perfect whiteness, shimmering and glacial, could hurt the eyes because of its dazzling glare. Far off you might hear some barking: it’s the huskies setting off for a new journey. Greenland is definitely a country of extraordinary nature, a country where the glacial climate warms the heart of its inhabitants. A country, quite simply, to discover.

Guide to travelling in Greenland
We have suggested some Greenland itineraries for you, and all of these trips are completely customisable. Your local travel agent is also on hand to help you! With their help, you’ll be able to create an unforgettable trip that is specifically tailored to you! As part of your trip, you’ll probably go to Disko Bay. At the heart of the bay lies its most well-known town, Illusiat, where a landscape that could easily feature in one of the most beautiful films awaits you. The dozens of blue, red, yellow and green houses scattered by the waterfront set an exquisite scene, and it is even more beautiful there if you arrive at sunset. You can also enjoy a trip worthy of a genuine explorer on a dog sled. The bay, which has the largest number of icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere, can only be visited by boat. A boat trip will also provide you with a good opportunity to explore the numerous fjords, and the ice islands and islets that emerge from the ocean. Opposite, on the east coast in the region of Tasilaq, you can enjoy a kayak trip, and in two paddle strokes, you could come across a seal, or behold the effortless swimming of one of the largest creatures in the world: a whale!

The best time to travel
When to go in Greenland?
The best period to go to Greenland is short: we advise you to go between June and August, the island's high season. You will be (a little) less cold in the North, and will able to make the most of the only moment where the South is not iced over. Don't be too scared of the cold though: as Greenland's climate is so dry, low temperatures are not paralysing.
