When to go Greenland ?
Whatever the season, bear in mind that the weather is constantly changing: the beautiful morning sun can suddenly disappear behind thick fog, and the bright western side of the fjord can give way to a rainy eastern side. The country is increasingly visited all year round, and while June to August is the peak tourist season, when everything is open and sunny, the rest of the year is worth a visit to discover a more intimate atmosphere.
In Greenland, the weather defines your travel experience. Dominated by a polar climate, this autonomous Danish state displays marked seasonal variations:
In winter, from November to March, temperatures drop drastically below zero, accompanied by long polar nights. This is the low season, perfect for Northern Lights viewing and winter activities.
Spring, from April to June, brings a gradual warming. It's a transitional period when the days get longer, offering unique opportunities for ski touring and discovering landscapes still covered in snow.
Summer, from July to August, is Greenland's high season. Temperatures are milder and days are longer, with the midnight sun illuminating the landscape 24 hours a day.
Autumn, from September to October, sees the gradual return of the nights, creating perfect conditions for admiring the northern lights. Temperatures begin to drop, setting the stage for the winter to come.
