Asi Ultra Marathon - 8 Day Package
Itinerary:
March 19 Welcome to Greenland!
We begin our journey at the Copenhagen Airport Terminal, where you will receive your goodie bag and board your plane to Greenland.
We will arrive in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland in the afternoon, local time. Upon arrival, we'll check in at hostel Old Camp, where we will spend the following two nights.
The organization team will give a brief welcome and go through the programme for the following days.
Note: The flight departs early in the morning, and Air Greenland does not cooperate with other airlines, meaning you must claim your luggage at Copenhagen Airport, clear customs, and check in again for your flight to Greenland. Thus, we strongly recommend that you do not book a same-day connection and instead arrive the day before and taken overnight stop in Copenhagen.
