Glacier Lodge Eqi

Do you have a weakness for adventure combined with high comfort, spectacular experiences, and wild nature? Well, then a stay at Glacier Lodge Eqi is the perfect vacation for you.

Enjoy a quiet evening on the terrace, while taking in the sight of a calving glacier

Glacier Lodge Eqi is the oldest lodge in World of Greenland's collection of unique lodges.

Here you get an exclusive opportunity to see, hear and feel the effect of a calving glacier up close. An experience that can make most people forget about everyday life, disconnect and be present in the moment.

Our Lodge is located in the middle of the enormous, Greenlandic wilderness, far from civilization and everyday life. Nonetheless, we made sure, that you do not need to compromise on everyday amenities. We have electricity, so that you can charge your camera; running hot water, so that you can enjoy a shower after a long day’s adventure; beautifully furnished cabins, where we have not settled on the quality; and of course, delicious food – Because we love to pamper you.

Our cabins are uniquely located overlooking the Eqi Glacier. The glacier in the northern hemisphere that calves the most often. Scientist believes that the glacier calves no less than once every 10 minutes. You are therefore almost guaranteed to witness the deafening event during a stay here. And you can expect a stay out of the ordinary when you book a stay at Glacier Lodge Eqi.

It is only possible to book a stay at Glacier Lodge Eqi from mid-June to mid-September, and as we have limited space, it is a good idea to book your stay well in advance.

We look forward to welcoming you at Glacier Lodge Eqi.

Difficulty Level
1: Easy

An easy tour means that you must be able to walk a few kilometers in slightly hilly terrain. Like taking a walk on paths in the woods, with a little detour every now and then. You must also be mobile enough to be able to board a boat, even if it may sway a little.

2: Moderate

Accessible to anyone with good health, who is used to off-road walking and hiking. When it comes to sledding, we call it moderate, as you may have to get off the sled and walk / run next to it. In addition, you need to have a healthy back as there will be bumps along the way.

3: Challenging

On a challenging hike you must be able to walk up and down steep hills. You may also have to walk on loose rocks and cross streams, and walk on snow/ice. Involves hiking with a backpack. When challenging is used in connection with sledding tours, it is because we expec that you can walk / run after the sledge up hills, if this is needed. 

4: Demanding

On a demanding hike we expect you to be in good physical shape. This means that you can hike long distances, maybe during several days, and that you can climb many altimeters during the day. Eg. our hike to the Inland Ice, where 1000 altimeters and 20 km must be climbed in one day. Demanding hikes involve hiking with your own backpack.

Strenuous

Expedition level. Requires considerable effort and perseverance. Only suitable for people in really good physical shape.

Besøgende til Glacier Lodge Eqi

Glacier Lodge Eqi, er beliggende på fjeldet 100 m over vandet. Vi anbefaler derfor at bagage medbringes i en rygsæk, da stigningen ikke gør det muligt at medbringe en kuffert. Bemærk, at landgangen ikke er handikapvenlig. Alle vandreture i Eqi, samt vandring på egen hånd bør betragtes som fjeldture der går fra udfordrende til meget krævende.
