Greenland is a place like no other, and as the world\u2019s largest island, it\u2019s all about vast, untouched landscapes that are surrounded by clear skies, sea and ice. A Greenland holiday<\/a> takes you to an authentic Arctic wilderness, ideal for adventurous travellers who want breathtaking scenery, wildlife encounters and a trip less ordinary.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning your first getaway to Greenland this winter<\/a>, preparation matters, and more than in many other destinations! You\u2019ll need to be ready to navigate remote regions and pack for extreme temperatures, so you can soak up the experience without worrying about the practicalities.<\/p>\n

The Baltic Travel Company team will, of course, take care of every aspect of your logistics, transport and excursions, but we\u2019ve shared some tips on what to bring and what to expect.<\/p>\n

\"Planning<\/p>\n

Why Book a Holiday to Greenland in the Winter?<\/h2>\n

During the summer, Greenland boasts the extended daylight hours that the midnight sun<\/a> brings with it, making it a great time of the year when visitors enjoy easier access to hiking trails<\/a>. However, in the winter, particularly between November and March, the country transforms into a magical snow-covered landscape.<\/p>\n

Guests get to see the polar night first-hand, where an unusual twilight darkness covers much of the day. This provides the perfect conditions for spotting the Northern Lights<\/a> twinkling in the Arctic sky or taking to the snow for activities like dog sledding pulled by teams of enthusiastic sled dogs.<\/p>\n

Greenland\u2019s ice is stable, and visitors are accompanied by friendly, knowledgeable local guides throughout, whether they\u2019d like to explore frozen fjords or experience the thrill of snowmobiling.<\/p>\n

If your dream is to spot some of the incredible species that live in this remote part of the world, you\u2019ll be spoiled for choice. There is marine life like humpback whales, fin whales, and minke whales that might be more common in the summer but can still be spotted on boat trips; Arctic foxes, musk oxen, and reindeer on land; and sea eagles and other wild birds soaring in the skies above the coastlines.<\/p>\n

Polar bears continue to inhabit parts of Greenland, but are rarely found anywhere close to settlements, but let us know if you\u2019d like to tailor your holiday to include tours to some of the more remote areas!<\/p>\n

How to Choose Which Region in Greenland to Visit<\/h2>\n
