(Snowshoe) Adventure in Nuuk’s Wilderness

Come hike with us – on snowshoes in winter time – into the remote wilderness of Nuuk and spend a night in a tent set amidst mountains and (frozen) lakes. This excursion begins on the outskirts of the city and swiftly immerses you in the Arctic wilderness, away from the hustle and bustle of the urban environment. Along the way, you’ll be treated to magnificent views of the sea and fjords surrounding Nuuk. Did you know that Nuuk Fjord is the world’s second-largest fjord system?!

The night will be spent in cozy tents amidst the untamed nature. Your guide will prepare a dinner ( expeditionstyle) . Feel free to ask about life in Greenland; our guide is eager to share their experiences of growing up in this unique place.

A Night Under the Northern Lights (end August to April)

After dinner and sharing stories, imagine settling into a warm sleeping bag, listening to the wind outside and the gentle flapping of the tent, while engaging in conversations with your fellow adventurers. On clear nights – and in northern light season (End August to April), this spot offers an opportunity to witness the mesmerizing northern lights up close, away from the city’s light pollution. While there are no guarantees of northern lights activity, this location presents an excellent chance to catch a glimpse of this natural wonder!

Following breakfast and a morning cup of coffee or tea brewed from melted snow or fresh river water, we’ll make our way back to civilization, enriched with unforgettable experiences and new tales to share.
