Walk to Sermermiut Settlement

Beautiful Icebergs are the setting for the old settlement of the Sermermiut 1½ kilometers south of Ilulissat. For 4000 years, different Inuit cultures lived in the settlement and today, you can still see the relics which indicate their presence. Hear the story of Inuit people’s life and traditions before the Europeans came to Greenland, see the ruins and touch the permafrost with your own hands.

Kangia Coastline Hike

This is the beautiful hike that takes you along the Kangia Icefiord, past the old settlement Sermermiut, ”Ladies Gorge” and “Holms Hill”. While the guide talks about the life before the Europeans arrived, flora and fauna, geology and of course the ice. The lunch break takes place on Holms Hill, where the people from Ilulissat go on January 13th to welcome back the sun.

Hike to "Nordre Huse"

This is an incredibly beautiful hike from the colourful settlement of Ilimanaq to the abandoned cemetaries of the former families and cultures. Following the coast line north from Ilimanaq we have got all day to spot musk oxes in the terrain or humpback whales in the sea. From the highest point next to the Ilulissat Icefiord we will have the most amazing view of the massive icebergs right in front of us.

Dayhike to the Inland Ice (requires two nights in GLacier Lodge Eqi)

On this whole-day trip you'll be offered with an amazing hike through grandiose landscapes.

After breakfast at the Eqi Glacier Lodge, we embark to walk the trail of French ethnologist and explorer Poul-Émile Victor up through the mountainous terrain.  For each meter of altitude climbed, we are rewarded by an increasingly beautiful view. Over wind-blast ridges, through fertile valleys and along crystal-clear melt lakes we arrive at the almost moon-like landscape at the edge of the glacial till. Then at last we reach the inland ice sheet. Here you will sense the sheet’s enormous mass and the grandiose, harsh nature which covers almost 80% of Greenland.
