It’s no coincidence that Nanortalik means the place of bears. In Greenland’s southernmost town polar bears sometimes pass by on the field ice from East Greenland in the spring. The chance – or risk – of meeting the enormous predator is very small, however.
Here at the mouth of the Tasermiut fjord lives a friendly population of fishermen and hunters in an area which can be warm and fertile during the summer months.
Outdoor activities in a league of their own
Steep peaks and sheer rock faces characterise the area around Tasermiut fjord. The fells tower up to a height of around two kilometres and invite hikers to embark on a fantastic trek. Indeed, climbers from all over the world take up the challenge year after year.
An adventure can be many things: fishing for char, salmon and cod, kayaking or sailing in deep fjords and hiking in the fells are also some of the activities which Nanortalik’s guests indulge in for many hours or even days.
At a more sedate pace and one or two steps back in time you’ll find the museum in Nanortalik, which oozes an atmosphere of the good old days with its umiak boats and peat houses.
Tips and Tricks
Of course there’s a main street in Nanortalik which is the focus of activity in the town. Pop down to the supermarket and visit the local “board”, where fishermen and hunters sell the day’s catch. It’s also on this street that you’ll find the tourist office, which has fishing licences, arts & crafts and souvenirs produced by local artists.
Welcome to the experiences of the other world. Where else can you find snow, ice, mountains, sea and whales close to green plains with potato fields? Go exploring for new exciting experiences right here.

Hot springs
On the island of Uunartoq in South Greenland you can enjoy wellness for life in 38-degree hot water. The water comes from three springs which run into a pool made of dammed up stones.
Archeology
They came from the north and they came from the south. A past that stretches back 4,500 years leaves traces that continue to live today in culture, sagas, legends and people.
Mountaineering
Mountains await as a succession of adventures – both large and small fells that will match your particular skills and equipment.
Sailing
Embark, disembark, head ashore, then embark once more! But never miss out on the chance to take a sailing trip through the magnificent landscape that’s sure to sweep you off your feet.
Whale watching
The sea is teeming with whales. As a spectator expect to be at a loss for words when you get close to these giant mammals of the deep.
Angling
Do rods, spinners and fish in all shapes and sizes have you hooked? Fishing is a pastime that can be enjoyed at any time of the year by people who love the challenge of rivers and lakes.
Trophy hunting
A trophy from reindeer and musk ox is on many hunters' wish list. And in Greenland, the goal is within short reach; only about five hours journey from Denmark you can get on musk and reindeer hunting.
Kayaking
Kayaking in Greenland is for experienced rowers who enjoy the silent movement in waters with white mountains as a backdrop.
Hiking
It’s a short distance from towns and settlements to open expanses with lakes, fells and the sea. Remember your map and compass or let yourself be guided by an experienced pathfinder.
Museums and art
Paintings, tooth, stone and bone. Greenland’s museums reflect the country’s cultural heritage and disseminate it using modern forms of expression.
Events
Greenland has always enticed adventurers with the courage to take on unique challenges. A number of annual events involve the country’s nature and culture in close interaction with the local inhabitants.
Gastronomy
Some of the finest gourmet restaurants are found in Greenland. And the menus are all characterised by local ingredients.
Music
Greenland’s music comes from the heart, as it always has done since the first rhythms were beaten on a drum. Today’s music carries on these proud traditions.
Souvenir shopping
Today’s most outstanding designers are behind innovative creations and are rewriting the history of Greenland. Look, touch and feel.
A copy of the world’s oldest umiak boat was exhibited at the Viking Museum in 1980.
At a height of 2000 metres and with 1400 unbroken metres, Ketilfjeld is one of the world’s biggest rock faces for climbing.
Local craftsmen create attractive jewellery made from gold that originates from the Nalunaq gold mine, which is located close to Nanortalik.
Enjoy an experience to take your breath away on a sailing trip to Greenland’s southernmost settlement, Aappilattoq. The trip through the narrow fjord, which is surrounded by sheer mountainsides towering up to a height of more than one kilometre, is well worth experiencing.
Greenland is full of surprises, beautiful landscapes and magnificent experiences. Find your next dream destination below.
