The Guides

Hans Solmssen grew up on the Big Island of Hawaii. He gained his UIAGM status through the Swiss guides program in 1992. He has lived in Verbier Switzerland for the past 25 years.

Miles Smart, living in Chamonix, France, and Gilles Sierro from the Val d’Herens in Switzerland will be with us this year.

The Cook

Martin, the chef at Hotel Maniitsoq, hails from Copenhagen and has honed his culinary skills through years of experience in Paris, a city renowned for its culinary excellence.

The Pilot

Our helicopter pilots undergo thorough annual training specifically tailored for arctic heliskiing. Stringent safety protocols are meticulously followed to guarantee the highest standards of flight safety. Continuous communication is maintained with air traffic control in Kangerlussuaq to provide immediate support in the unlikely event of an incident.

The Skipper

Jakob Olsen will take us far out to sea, if conditions permit, on a chase for any unlucky whales. Take an extra thick fleece for this ride towards the Arctic Circle.
