About this activity

Discover the landscapes above Greenland’s capital on a guided hike up Quassussuaq, also known as Lille Malene.

Your experience begins with pickup at your agreed location in Nuuk and a transfer to the trailhead. After meeting your guide and preparing your equipment, begin the uphill walk, taking in the changing views as you climb.

At the summit area, pause to appreciate the surrounding scenery and take photographs. The stopping place will depend on the weather and conditions on the day.

This is the shortest of our four hiking experiences, offering an active introduction to Nuuk’s mountain landscape. It still involves uphill effort and uneven terrain, making it best suited to guests comfortable walking beyond paved city paths.

Return downhill with your guide before transferring back to your agreed drop-off point.
