Expedition West and East Greenland: Greenland as a complete work of art

Active hiking with experts

Greenland offers a varied hiking programme that provides impressive insights into the nature of the far north. The range of options extends from easy walks through the valleys to challenging mountain tours. Along the way, spectacular views of glaciers, fjords and extensive mountain landscapes open up time and again. Some hikes follow gentle river valleys or coastal paths, while others lead up to vantage points from which you can take in the vastness of the Arctic scenery. The tours are designed to suit every fitness level: those who prefer a more leisurely pace can enjoy shorter routes across flat tundra terrain, while experienced hikers can challenge themselves on pathless trails and steep climbs. The hikes are accompanied by your expedition leader Dr Arne Kertelhein and expert Peter Marr , who use their specialist knowledge and enthusiasm to ensure that every tour is an intense experience of nature. You will also be accompanied by your hiking expert Günther Hanisch , a certified mountain guide, who not only shares his experience but also designs special routes for the more ambitious hikers. These offer the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself physically, gain new perspectives and experience the beauty of Greenland even more intensely. However, the programme also includes tours of easy and moderate difficulty – ideal for leisurely hikers with an interest in botany and geology who wish to explore nature alongside their expedition leader.
