Sailing SOUTH 2026

Sailing expedition to the Antarctic oasis of South Georgia and the natural paradise of the Falklands

The natural paradise of South Georgia is considered one of the most remote and wildest places on earth. The alpine peaks of the central mountain range rise almost 3,000 metres out of the sea. Even in summer, almost 75% of the island is covered in snow, ice and glaciers.

Because of the large number of seabirds, penguins and seals that raise their young here, the island is also known as the Antarctic oasis. The marine ecosystem is considered to be one of the most biodiverse on earth.

The Falkland Islands are a real gem. The remote archipelago is considered a challenging sailing area in the South Atlantic. Its numerous, largely uninhabited islands can often only be reached by boat. They entice visitors with magnificent wide landscapes, rugged coastlines, paradisiacal beaches, plenty of wind, magnificent skies and magical light.

A natural paradise with fantastic sub-Antarctic wildlife is waiting to be discovered here – Antarctica light, you could say: numerous species of penguins, seals, elephant seals, whales, dolphins, albatrosses and other seabirds populate the islands.

Sailing and skiing expedition
in Shackleton’s footsteps

We want to follow Shackleton through the magnificent ice and glacier world of South Georgia and cross the island on skis and pulka sledges.
I am particularly pleased to have the experienced Swiss adventurer and Arctic traveller Thomas Ulrich on the team as expedition leader for this project.
We will follow in Shackleton’s footsteps and those of the old whaling stations, as well as discovering the unspoilt landscape and globally unique biodiversity of this sub-Antarctic island.
