Day 2. Saarloq. Uunartoq Hot Springs
We will sail through theouter skerries direction to the village of Saarloq, a picturesque village almost abandoned where we will make a short stop over to wander around. In the afternoon we will set off for Uunartoq through the complex system of fjords which somehow reminds us of Scotland, although here it is surrounded by icebergs. In the afternoon, we will have free time to enjoy a relaxing bath in the Uunartoq warm springs. Southern Greenland’s crystal-clear 38 degree warm springs, discovered by the Norsemen 1,000 years ago, is the only place where the springs are warm enough to bathe in Greenland, a holiday resort for many natives who come from all over the country to camp and bath in the thermal waters, while icebergs float only 500 metres away in the fjord.
Night at Uunartoq Island. Accommodation in tents
Day 3. Tasermiut fjord. Tasiusaq & Kuusuaq River Camp
Transfer to Tasermiut Fjord, a remote breathtaking place on the southern tip of Greenland where not many travelers arrive except for a few climbers.
We will arrive by RIB boat to Tasiusaq, a picturesque inuit village with 80 inhabitants. Tragic historical landmarks which reflect how hard life was in this country decades ago. All the inhabitants of this village starved to death some 140 years ago. It was not until the 1930s that the village was repopulated by descendants and family of the original inhabitants. Spectacular scenery surrounded by mountains.
After visiting the village we will take the boat again to Kuusuaq River Camp, a beautiful site surrounded by pristine Arctic nature. From there, we will set off on an excursion to explore Tasersuaq Lake, one of the largest lakes in the region.
The hike will offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and tundra, and we may have the chance to spot Arctic wildlife or learn about the area’s glacial and cultural history.
Night and Dinner at Kuusuak River Camp. Accommodation in tents
Day 4. Tasermiut Camp. Big walls and Tasermiut Glacier
Navigation to Tasermiut glacier, along the beautiful and remote fjord of the same name famous for its mountains and challenging rock faces, home to some of the best “big walls” in the world of climbing and considered as one of the ten wonders of the Arctic. During the journey we will discover three impressive mountains – Ketil, Ulamertorssuaq – up to the borders of the glacier, a glacier with a 1.400 metres drop from the plateau to the fjord in barely three kilometres, which turns the glacier into a spectacular, mighty ice waterfall. Night at the camp under the huge Ulamertorsuaq – one of the largest and steepest walls in the world, exceeding even “Capitan” in Yosemite. This is a place where climbers attempting the big walls in the region usually camp.
This camp also offers a fantastic view to the west face of the Ulamertorssuaq as the sun set strokes the rock with the last rays of sun.
Accommodation in tents
Day 5. Tasermiut fjord. Nalumasortoq hike
Moderate walk on a terrain of medium difficulty up to the base of the amazing Nalumasortoq granite mass, whose extremely smooth twin walls are highly cherished by climbers in South Greenland. From this viewing point we can see the south face of the Ketil and the north face of the Ulamertorssuaq, together with many other unnamed walls. Alpine and glacial landscapes, incredibly beautiful sights.
One of the key parts of the hike involves crossing a river, which can reach knee-deep in some sections, depending on recent rainfall or glacier melt. Possibility of picking mushrooms and blackberries.
Accommodation in tents
Day 6. Tasermiut fjord – Ulamertorsuaq trek
Trekking upto the base of the Ulamertorssuaq wall, rated the best Arctic “Bigwall” and one of the best ten climbing walls in the whole world. Mountain of unique, singular beauty, astonishing wall and glaciers. The 1843 meters high peak is a popular mountain among climbers because of its challenging West Side, a mighty perpendicular Cliff.
Night at the camp. Accommodation in tents River Camp. Accommodation in tents.
Day 7. Nanortliq
RIB boat navigation to Nanortalik, the southernmost town of the country, which has some 1200 inhabitants and is the third most populated town in the South of Greenland. Visit to the Museum of Inuit Culture and Traditions, the best museum in the South. Free time in the evening and for dinner. You can visit the town “where there are polar bears” – at least that is the meaning of its name, though the chances of meeting one are extremely little – and which still remains isolated by ice for a considerable part of the year. It is possible to join a guided tour of the town and surroundings.
Accommodation in Hostel
Day 8. Allitsup Paa- Igaliku- Qassiarsuk
We begin our journey with a RIB boat navigation to Alluitsup Paa, a small settlement surrounded by dramatic landscapes of towering mountains, deep fjords, and the open sea, Alluitsup Paa offers a unique window into traditional Greenlandic life. Afterwards, we continue by boat to the Viking PassThe Viking Pass, a narrow passage located between two fjords, historically used by the Norse as a vital route when the sea froze over during winter to transport goods across this ice-covered passage, they employed an ingenious pulley system, allowing them to move merchandise safely and efficiently between fjords. This unique site combines fascinating Viking history with the pristine beauty of the Arctic wilderness, offering insight into the resourcefulness and resilience of Greenland’s early settlers
We then navigate to Itilleq, where we disembark the RIB boat and begin our walk along the King’s Way — a scenic and historic trail that leads to the settlement of Igaliku.
In Igaliku, we will visit the ruins of Gardar, the religious capital of Viking Greenland and once home to the Norse bishop’s estate — the largest and most important farmstead in all of medieval Greenland. We’ll also see the site of Anders Olsen’s farm, established in the 18th century, and admire the unique sandstone architecture of Igaliku’s stone houses, which blend European and Greenlandic building traditions.
This entire area has recently been designated as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site: Kujataa, in recognition of its exceptional cultural and historical significance — a rare blend of Norse and Inuit agricultural heritage in the Arctic. We will then continue our journey toward Qassiarsuk.
Night at the Leif Eriksoon Hostel
Day 9. Qassiarsuk UNESCO World Heritage.Tasiusaq and Sermilik, the “Bay of Icebergs”
Qassiarsuk, a village of about 40 inhabitants mostly farmers, we will see the statue of famous Norse explorer Leif Erikson overlooking the viking settlement Brattahlid, today known as Qassiarsuk as well as the Tunulliarfik Fjord. He was the first known European to have discovered continental North America (excluding Greenland), before Christopher Columbus. Leif was the son of Erik the Red, the founder of Brattahlid, the first Norse settlement in Greenland.
Hike to Tasiusaq farmthrough the tundra and lakes, where seven people live in notable isolation next to Sermilik fjord, which is almost always blocked by the ice from icebergs coming from Eqaloruutsit glacier.

Cultural visit- Brattahlid reconstructions: Guided visit to the original ruins from Erik the Red, and a replica of the original chapel and longhouse. This Norse and Greenlandic core farming were in 2017 inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List under the title Kujataa
Greenland: A Norse and Inuit farming landscape on the Edge of the Ice Cap.
Qassiarsuk and Tasiusaq area represent the most comprehensive and rich example of both Norse and Greenlandic farming histories and contains ruins of large cattle-based Norse farms and their numerous satellite sites including, not least, Erik the Red’s Brattahlid. It was also here that Otto Frederiksen in 1924 established the first sheep farm after Igaliku, founding today’s settlement of Qassiarsuk.
In the afternoon we will have a sea excursion to Qoorooq fjord and see what probably is the most spectacular glacier in the South of Greenland. We will navigate among blocks of ice until the density of ice is such that we can no longer continue. Wonderful sight of ice floating around us.
Night and dinner at the Hostel
Day 11. Narsarsuaq – The Arboretum – Glacier View – Qaleraliq
We will cross to Narsarsuaq by zodiac boat and walk through a village with a significant history as a World War II air base.
Excursion to the Ridge
The hike to the Ridge begins in Narsarsuaq and passes through the Arboretum. As you ascend, you’ll enjoy beautiful views of Flower Valley and the surrounding fjord.
At the top, the Ridge offers a breathtaking panorama of the Kiatut Glacier and the drifting icebergs. The Greenlandic Arboretum is one of the most extensive and northernmost botanical gardens in the world. It covers approximately 150 hectares and includes around 110 tree species from about 600 different provenances
Qaleraliq Camp
In the afternoon, we will set off for Qaleraliq camp, navigating along Tunulliarfik fjord among numerous icebergs. We will arrive to a cosy, enchanting camp set on a sandy beach, which contrasts with a spectacular view of three glacier fronts from Qaleraliq’s glacier.
We will spend the night at the camp, allowing our senses to enjoy the unbelievable views and the thunderclap roar of the icefall from seracs.

Day 12. Ice Cap view. Ascent to the panoramic view of the Inland Ice.
Hike through a unique desert-like sand valleywhich willlead us to a surprisingly different landscape, that of the green and thick tundra.
After passing the lake, we will climb a mountain 400 metres high, from which we will have a mesmerising view of the Tasersuatsiaq Lake, one of the largest in Southern Greenland. The summit is also a very special viewing point of the Inlandsis, the immense inland glacier. From there you can gaze upon the infinite ice sheet up to the north coast of the island and towards the Ar ctic Ocean, and see the Nunataks, floating landmarks on the ice sheet.
We may pick mushrooms and blueberries, and look for caribou, which are plentiful in the area.
Descent to the camp.
Accommodation in fix Domo tents
Day 13. Glacier fronts and excursion on ice
We will navigate along the glacier frontson a RIB boat, zodiac type, admiring the beauty of their vertical walls, ice walls and numerous icebergs as we approach them along their more than 10 kilometres descent to the sea. These glacier fronts extended in only one, not long ago, but the dramatic progress of climate change divided it in three glacier fronts. From there we will start the ice excursion. An impressive walk using crampons (organised to be suitable for all travellers) on one of the oldest masses of ice in the planet. We will explore its crevasses, drains, seracs, and other ice formations, which give an incredible, labyrhyntine quality to this glacier. An expert mountain guide will be in charge to make sure we are provided with the appropriate equipment, and to ensure the safety of the group during the trip,
while he shares with us his knowledge about the special characteristics of the glaciers in the South of Greenland. A unique experience, exciting and original, surprising both first-time comers and those used to the peculiarities of the glacier world. One of the most impressive sights and one of the best excursions in all Greenland. Accommodation in fix Domo tents
