Land Activities

Hikers can challenge themselves on trails that meander through remote valleys, revealing hidden waterfalls and offering panoramic vistas of ice-choked fjords. East Greenland invites for tours from easy walking and hiking to explorating of uncharted mountain peaks on multi-day trekking adventures. A remote area with vast backcountry for adventure lovers from hiking, to mountaineering and trekking. For the more intrepid, multi-day treks into the heart of the backcountry uncover landscapes untouched by time, where the only footprints might be those of an arctic fox. Winter transforms East Greenland into a snowy wonderland, inviting activities like snowshoeing, with the ethereal glow of the Northern Lights as a potential evening reward. Whether you’re scaling a challenging peak, or simply camping beneath the open starlit sky, East Greenland’s land activities promise a deep connection with nature, unlike anywhere else on Earth.

On tour with the dogs.
