Hiking in South Greenland

We feel that South Greenland is the absolute best area of Greenland to go hiking. This is where you will find the greatest variety of landscapes anywhere on the island. In a single day, you can hike through lush valleys, follow rushing streams, walk along ridges overlooking fjords filled with icebergs and climb windswept mountains. You can take easy one-day or multiple-day trips among green, gently rolling hills, where you follow paths and gravel roads. Yet only a few kilometres away the vast pristine wilderness beckons the more experienced hiker. Here you will find no trails, no bridges and no signs of other human beings.

You often get an extra dimension to your hiking tour in South Greenland, as the trail may lead you past small, isolated sheep farms, where you can visit or stay overnight with a Greenlandic family and catch a glimpse of their everyday life. And, finally, one last important reason to choose South Greenland is that you can almost entirely avoid the at times very annoying mosquitoes if you stick to mountain areas with grazing sheep!
