Cross Country Skiing
Walk like the Ancients through the wild of Greenland
About Cross Country Skiing
​
Skiing as a form of transportation dates back over 5000 years and has evolved from simply a means of transport to the invigorating recreational activity it is today. Cross Country Skiing throughout Scandinavia has a rich history, being used for daily transport needs, to exploration with the likes of Fridtjov Nansen to special forces units in World War II.
The sport itself is well received worldwide, with features in the Winter Olympics and many special events including biathlons annually. In Greenland the practicality of cross country skiing can still be appreciated, with many terrains still as difficult to traverse as ever. The depth of snow cannot always be easily judged, making skis ideal for exploration, and exhilarating when roaming the mountainous ranges.
