Typical Itinerary for Arctic Heli Skiing Greenland Package

Day 1: Arrival, Briefing & Ski

Late morning flight from Reykjavik Iceland to Kulusuk (KUS) Greenland where you will arrive around noon. The 1½hr flight from Iceland can offer amazing views of the east coast as you approach. On the ground in Greenland, meet up with your guides and be taken to the Kulusuk Hotel only minutes away from the airport. Once settled in, the group will go over the weeks agenda with your guides, be briefed on local conditions as well as receive the avalanche safety training and emergency procedures briefing before heading out for your first afternoon of skiing.

DAYS 2 - 7:  Ski, Look, Relax, Eat, Rest, Repeat

First descents, adventure and exploration is the name of the game. Every day you will get the chance to fly out over frozen fjords and ski amazing lines right down to the white sheet of the pack ice where your helicopter awaits. On your flights to and from skiing each day you might even spot a polar bear roaming the rugged beauty of the Greenlandic landscape. Evenings and nights are spent in the comforts of Hotel Kulusuk where you may get the chance to sample some local cuisine as well as enjoy performances by local drum dancers.

DAY 8: Departure

Time to pack your bags, say your goodbyes. You will already be thinking about returning to the magic mountains of Greenland. Your flight back to Iceland leaves around 1100hrs and arrives in Reykjavik around 1600hrs. A night in Reykjavik is generally required since most international flights will have left by the time your flight from Greenland arrives in Iceland.

PLEASE NOTE: Greenland can be very unpredictable in terms of weather. It is a remote location with few means of transportation to and from the country. Please be advised that flights can be delayed and you should be prepared to be flexible with your dates or at least be prepared to be delayed on arrival or departure.

Accommodation & Food

You will stay at the Kulusuk Hotel in Greenland, based on single accommodation. Kulusuk is a small village with limited accommodation so this is the only settlement hotel available in the area, and while it is basic, it is comfortable and well managed as well as offering amazing views of the area. You will fly directly from the front of the hotel every morning. All meals, snacks & non-alcoholic drinks are included.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

Arctic Heli Skiing (AHS) Terms & Conditions are standard in the heli skiing industry. Due to the costs involved with heli skiing and heli snowboarding we have strict payment and refund policies. We also require guests to purchase travel insurance as our terms and conditions are absolute. Please familiarize yourself with our cancellation and refund policies prior to booking a program with us.

CANCELLATIONS

All ski and snowboarding packages start and finish on the specified dates and have been offered as a complete package. There are no refunds, partial or full for any of the following reasons.
- Late arrival or early departure for any reason
- Sickness or injury
- Lack of skier ability or fitness

Deposits are non-refundable. If you need to cancel your trip after having paid the deposit or balance the following options are available:
- Your ski package is transferable to another person*
- If AHS is able to find a replacement for your space then your package payment can be deferred to a ski package in the next season.
*If you find a person to take your spot, we will credit any payments you have already made to the balance owed on the seat. It is between yourself and the person replacing you to sort out payments/reimbursements between one another.

Cancellations must be made by email. If cancellation is received 95 days or less, prior to start of confirmed package then entire trip price is owed and non-refundable. Arctic Heli Skiing reserves the right to cancel any heli skiing package at any time. Should this occur a full refund of payments, including deposit, less 3% administration fee will be given.

REFUNDS

No refunds are given in whole or in part for unused days within the package due to late arrival or early departure. If you decide to come in early from skiing or snowboarding during your program or to not ski at all no refund will be given should the guaranteed flight time not be reached.

There are occasions where we are not able to ski due to weather, a mechanical breakdown, conditions, or an unforeseen emergency. Should the entire group not reach the included flight time of the package the unused time is averaged over the group and refunded at 2,600 EUR per hour of unused time. Should guests on our Ultimate Package not fly for a day the refund policy is 2,600 per day divided amongst the group.

GREENLAND PROGRAMS: There are many costs associated with locating helicopters, flight hours and getting highly qualified guides to Greenland that are nonrefundable. Another big cost in the package is the Greenland Airport Authority which charges for operating commercially within the country. This cost is also non-refundable.
That being said if we have problems with the weather and we do not fly the minimum hours we do try to sell them as extra hours to other groups throughout the season. In this case we are able to refund groups that did not achieve their hours; however, this is not something that we can guarantee.

DEPOSITS, REGISTRATION & PAYMENT

Each guest should familiarize themselves with the booking process on this website. This will ensure that you pick the best package for your needs and that you a have a full understanding of what a heli ski trip/ski package entails.

A non-refundable deposit and a completed registration form are required within 1 week of the reservation date to confirm your reservation. The deposit is 35% of your total package price. The exact amount will be calculated and sent back to the guest in the reply to his initial booking request.

To secure your space, final payment is required 95 days prior to commencement of your package. If booking less than 95 days prior to start of ski package full payment is due to confirm and secure the space.

LIABILITY

Each guest will be required to sign a RELEASE FROM LIABILITY, WAIVER OF CLAIMS ASSUMPTION OF RISKS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT. By signing this agreement/waiver you are giving up certain legal rights. This agreement/ waiver must be signed and witnessed at our lodge before the guest is allowed to ski. This is part of our helicopter and avalanche safety briefing upon your arrival. Refusal to sign this waiver will result in cancellation of that guest’s ski package with no refund of any sort.

INSURANCE

Because of the costs involved in heli skiing we require that each guest purchase trip or holiday cancellation insurance in addition to medical, personal and travel insurance. This insurance should cover emergency helicopter evacuation. Arctic Heli Skiing has partnered up with Global Rescue and World Nomads in offering heli skiing specific insurances to our guests.
