Golden Triangle of Greenland
Experience the must-sees of Greenland: Kangerlussuaq, Sisimiut, and Ilulissat. Visit the Ice sheet near Kangerlussuaq, see Sisimiut’s beautiful houses that appear as small colored spots in the rocky landscape and let the spectacular Ilulissat Ice Fjord in Ilulissat take your breath away. One of the highlights of the trip will be a stay at the stunning Ilimanaq Lodge.
Itinerary
- Day 1: Arrival in Kangerlussuaq Departure from Copenhagen. Step off the plane and start your adventure in Greenland! The crisp air and the sight of the mountains that surround the airport in Kangerlussuaq are your first encounter with a place like no other. A local guide welcomes you at the airport and helps with check-in to your hotel. Information meeting later. For the remaining part of the day, we recommend an excursion to the Ice sheet (not included). Accommodation at Hotel Kangerlussuaq.
- Day 2: Sisimut Breakfast at the hotel and fly to Sisimiut, Greenland’s second largest town with approx. 5,500 inhabitants. The town is beautifully set amid the rocky landscape with picturesque wooden houses in bright colors. After check-in information by a local guide. Rest of the day at your own leisure or join one of the optional excursions (ask us for an offer). Accommodation at Hotel Sisimiut.
- Day 3: Sisimut Breakfast at the hotel. The day is at your disposal. Pay a visit, for instance, to one of the town’s arts and crafts workshops where the local artists produce and sell jewelry and crafts in soapstone, ivory, and bone. You can also join a boat tour to a local settlement (not included). Accommodation at Hotel Sisimiut.
- Day 4: Ilulissat Breakfast at the hotel and fly up north to Ilulissat. There is a transfer to the hotel and receive some information from a local guide.

Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to relax completely and enjoy life in a quiet village and maybe relax on your terrace. You will dine in a historic building from 1751 in one of the world’s most remote restaurants. Here, you’ll be served a delicious three-course menu created largely with delicious local ingredients. Accommodation and dinner at Ilimanaq Lodge.
