Adventurous Hike in the Qinngua Valley

Udsigt over Tasersuaq Sø fra det fjeld jeg forgæves forsøgte at komme over på Dag 2.

Enjoying the Arctic nature and the pristine wilderness of Greenland is a dream come true for any hiker. But it can also be extremely tough and sometimes risky. This is certainly the case when the hike at Nanortalik in South Greenland takes you over difficult boulders and steep mountainsides, through bottomless swamps and across rushing […]

Hiking the GR10 Trail in the French Pyrenees

In August 2018, we went on an indescribably beautiful hike in the French Pyrenees. We followed part of the popular GR10 trail, starting in Cauterets and ending in Bagnères-de-Luchon. The entire GR10 trail is 950 km long and runs just north of the Spanish-French border from the Atlantic coast to the Mediterranean coast. As we […]

Getting Our Gear Right for the GR10 Trail

Located just north of the French-Spanish border and traversing the French Pyrénées, the popular GR10 hiking trail stretches 950 km from the Atlantic coast to the Mediterranean coast. As we didn’t have time to do the whole trek, we decided to walk a section that we expected to be exceptionally spectacular and mountainous. It goes […]

The view from the top of the Iviangiusat Mountain is worth the whole climb. In clear weather, the archipelago, the mountains and the Greenland ice sheet appear razor sharp in a radius of several hundred kilometers. You can even see all the way to the capital, Nuuk. It has become autumn and Maniitsoq’s rooftops are […]

A hike to the abandoned village of Uunarteq (Cape Tobin) offers incomparably beautiful Arctic nature, challenging terrain and close encounters with snow hares, eider ducks, sea urchins and, if you are lucky/unlucky, polar bears.

Ascending the Quassussuaq Peak in Nuuk
