Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival Narsarsuaq. Info at our office at Blue Ice
Café. Boat transfer to Itilleq and hike the 4 km at the
"Kings Road" (named after the Danish King Frederik
9th's visit in 1952) to Igaliku. 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 2
We recommend a day hike along the river to Lake 90, and further
on up to the plateau. From here, 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). If you want to climb a top instead, Nuuluk (823
m) is waiting for you south of Igaliku!
Day 3
Boat transfer from Igaliku (Itilleq) to Qaqortoq. Accommodation
at Hotel Qaqortoq for two nights.
Day 4
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.
Day 5
Boat transfer from Qaqortoq to Inneruulalik. The farm Inneruulalik
is located south of Qassiarsuk just opposite the Qooroq Ice
Fjord. It is a perfect idyll combined with overwhelming nature
and added hospitality from a Greenlandic family.
Accommodation at Inneruulalik Farm for two nights.
Day 6
We sujest a day hike in the mountains behind Inneruulalik. You
follow small sheep tracks through an impressive landscape spotted
with small, blue lakes. There are good chances to see the White-tailed
Eagle hover above your head. From a top, you can enjoy a lunch
packet together with the view of the fjords on each side of
the peninsula, both filled with pieces of ice!
Day 7
You walk along the gravel road, which climb up the low mountains
before it descents to the village Qassiarsuk (9 km). Qassiarsuk
is also known as Brattahlid, the place where Erik the Red settled
in year 982. The ruins from the Norse period are well preserved.
Today, the 50 residents are mainly sheep farmers, but the village
also has a school, a church and a shop. There will be a guided
walk through the village and the Norse ruins. The museum can
be visited on your own (entrance not included). In late afternoon
boat transfer to Narsarsuaq.
Accommodation at Hotel Narsarsuaq for one night.
Day 8

Guided boat trip to the Qooroq Ice Fjord. A boat trip among
icebergs of all colours, sizes and shapes. When the glacier
