Arctic Circle Trail (ACT)

The Arctic Circle Trail (ACT) is a legendary 165km wilderness trek that carves through the heart of West Greenland. Connecting the inland hub of Kangerlussuaq with the coastal bustle of Sisimiut, the trail traverses the Aasivissuit–Nipisat UNESCO World Heritage site—a cultural hunting landscape that has sustained Inuit cultures for over 4,000 years. The journey takes you through a vast, treeless tundra where the only company you'll have are the occasional muskox or reindeer. It's a land of rolling hills, sapphire-blue lake systems, and profound silence, offering one of the most immersive long-distance wilderness experiences in the Arctic.

Following the historic path used by the Army of the Andes in 1817, this 6-day trans-Andean expedition traverses the central cordillera from Mendoza, Argentina, to the Cajón del Maipo in Chile. The route crosses two significant high-altitude barriers—Portillo Argentino (4,330m) and Paso Piuquenes (4,030m). Hikers move through a high desert landscape of volcanic rock, vast glacial valleys, and the powerful Tunuyán River. The terrain consists primarily of rocky mountain paths, loose scree on the steeper pass approaches, and high-altitude plateaus where exposure to wind and sun is constant.
