Snowshoeing among the Mountains | Nuuk

This hike takes you from the edge of Qinngorput, along the Cirkus lake, between the mountains around Quassussuaq (Lille Malene).

You will meet your guide at the city center and head together towards the trail start.

The trail leads you along the beautiful frozen Cirkus lake, surrounded by the famous mountains Quassussuaq (Lille Malene) and Ukkusissaq (Store Malene). Along the way, the guide will share his knowledge of the surrounding area, such as the plant life and wildlife you might encounter.

Almost all the way you’re surrounded by tall mountains, which truly gives a sense of the scale of things here in Greenland. It also offers some great views into the fjord. At some point, you’ll have a break where the guide serves tea and coffee.

The trip is medium difficulty, as during the trip, you must go up to steep terrain, cold can make it harder as well (suitable for hikers with good fitness). We will walk about 7 km on this hiking-snowshoeing tour.
