Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival Narsarsuaq. Info in the airport, and boat transfer to Qaqortoq (duration about two hours).
Accommodation in Qaqortoq for two nights.

Day 2
Qaqortoq, which means "The White", is the biggest town in South Greenland with 3500 inhabitants. Qaqortoq is the education centre for South Greenland with grammar school, school of commerce and folk high school. Furthermore, the town has several fair-sized companies such as Great Greenland with tannery and sewing facilities for creating beautiful sealskin clothes. Around the town, the visitor will meet sculptures being a part of the famous project "Stone & Man", where different sculptors have made the town a big sculpture park. Greenland's oldest fountain is situated at the town square next to the harbour. Here you can sit and watch the hunters and fishermen arriving with today's catch for the market. From Qaqortoq you can visit the famous Hvalsey Church ruin. This tour should also be booked in advance. See Qaqortoq Tourist Office.

Day 3
Boat transfer from Qaqortoq to Itilleq. From here you walk the 4 km at the "Kings Road" (named after the Danish King Frederik 9th's visit in 1952) to Igaliku. The hike is easy, but you can also get a ride with the car, which is transporting your luggage. Igaliku is one of the most beautiful villages in Greenland! The colourful houses are situated in a green bay with luscious grassland. On the other side of the fjord towers the landmark Illerfissalik (Burfjeld) in a rough and desolate landscape.
Accommodation at Igaliku Country Hotel for two nights.

Day 4
Igaliku was the Episcopal seat (named Gardar) during the Norse period, and the ruins from that time are very impressive. In 1782 Anders Olsen and his Greenlandic wife Tuperna established themselves as farmers and that was the beginning of Igaliku's newer history. There is a small museum in the church, which is worth visiting. Today the village thrives from sheep farming. An optional day hike (15-20 km) goes to the Plateau, from where there is a superb view of the Qooroq Ice fjord, the stranded ice bergs on the moraine and the enormous glacier at the head of the fjord. It is the perfect place for picnic! On the way back, you can be lucky to find minerals and stones, for instance the shining "moon stone" (Labradorit).

Day 5
Boat transfer from Itilleq to Qassiarsuk also known as Brattahlid, the place where Erik the Red settled in 982. The museum can be visited on your own (entrance is included). Late afternoon boat transfer to Narsarsuaq.

Day 6
Check out from the room. Luggage can be left at the hotel.
Guided boat trip to the Qooroq Ice Fjord. A boat trip among icebergs of all colours, sizes and shapes. When the glacier is in view, the boat engine is stopped, so you can enjoy the absolute silence and a drink chilled with glacier ice - more than 1000 years old!
