Sisimiut is one of the more well-known hiking destinations in Greenland. Hikes range from easy to challenging and reveal a stunning diversity of landscapes and views.
In town walks
We are starting to develop in-town walks that are suitable for everybody, including cruise ship guests.
The first of these is a series of 3 Nature Walks where you can learn about some of the many plants that are found in Greenland.
Download both the Nature Walk trifold (you may want to print a copy to bring with you) and the Plant Identification PDF to your phone before heading out.
