Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Lace up your hiking shoes and dress in warm layers as you embark on a three-hour adventure that hikes along Qaqortoq's picturesque lake, known as "Storesøen," a recreational spot favored by locals. Be sure to wear mosquito nets and repellent, and bring water and a snack from the ship. Your guide is eager to impart all the local lore as you walk through the colorful town to the trail head. As you traverse the rugged terrain, you'll take in the abundant scenic splendor, indigenous flora and fauna, and the wild and desolate Arctic landscapes. In contrast to much of the ice-capped northern regions of the island, South Greenland is surprisingly lush and green. As you explore, you'll learn all about Greenland's natural history and how the lake was made by the inland ice cap. There will be ample stops to photograph highlights along the way. At the conclusion of your hike, stroll as a group back to the pier.

Special Notes:

Wear sturdy, non-skid walking shoes. Not advisable for guests with mobility limitations. Not suitable for guests who suffer from asthma or heart or back conditions. The level of guide experience varies in Qaqortoq due to the remoteness of its location. Limited tourism infrastructure is part of the charm here, and you are trading breadth of experience for authentic interaction. Please bring your spirit of adventure and bear with any language difficulties your guide may encounter and with any operational surprises that may crop up. Bring water, moquito replellent, mosquito nets and a snack.
You will be hiking for approximately three hours. Please realistically assess your physical fitness and ability prior to booking, as the walk has inclines, steps and unpaved walking tracks. Minimum age is 10 years. There are no restrooms available on tour.
