Hiking trips for all tastes
The Greenlandic nature provides magnificent hiking experiences in an almost untouched landscape. In most areas of the country you do not need to walk very far before you can enjoy the deafening silence and the sight of wide open spaces. Greenland is therefore a very popular hiking country for people who love the great outdoors.
 

Short hikes 
At many of Greenland’s 18 towns there are hiking routes which can be completed within two or three hours depending on your pace and the number of breaks you take en route. A good alternative is a guided hike where you can also learn about the flora and fauna in the area, as well as the local history and geology.
  

Daytrips

Hikes lasting a day are a good option if you wish to see particular settlements close to the town that you are visiting. An example of this is Oqaatsut/Rodebay, which lies approximately 7-8 hours from Ilulissat. In Oqaatsut you can book overnight accommodation in a cabin and thereby sleep on a comfortable mattress instead of a sleeping mat in a tent.
 

Week-long hikes

If you love longer hikes, Greenland is absolutely ideal for hiking from one town to another. The route from Kangerlussuaq to Sisimiut is especially popular, as are the routes from Qaqortoq to Igaliku and Qassiarsuk to Narsaq in South Greenland. At Tasiilaq there are also lots of good hiking routes on the island of Amassalik – both short and long.
