“

We did two fairly challenging hikes (Mountain Ridge Hike and Summit Oriartorfik) with an easier one (Summit Quassussuaq) in between. The views at the top were each spectacular. Thorlak is an excellent guide – safety aware, encouraging, friendly, knowledgeable, and challenging. …
If you want to do day hikes from Nuuk with 800-1000 meters or so of elevation gain, my son and I would both highly recommend Two Ravens. We loved the hikes and the whole experience with Two Ravens.
