Sermermiut Hike

We will begin our tour from Disko Line Explorers office and drive to the Icefiord Centre at the old heliport. From here we will follow the walkway all the way through the Sermermiut valley. On the way our guide will tell you all about the old Inuit settlement, the cultural-history and the beautiful nature. At the end of the walkway we will be greeted by an extraordinary view, the vast Ilulissat Icefiord stretching 70 km into the country.
At this viewpoint we will take a break and enjoy the spectacular vistas. We will serve coffee and tea as well as a delicate homemade snack with local ingredients. Afterwards we will make our way back to the Icefiord Centre where we will be picked up and driven back to Disko Line Explorer.

People have lived at Sermermiut since the first humans immigrated to Greenland 4400 years ago. The view over the Icefiord and its massive icebergs is without a doubt astonishing. But it was not only because of the beautiful view that people settled specifically in Sermermiut. The great glacial activity and huge amounts of ice makes the oceans at Sermermiut and Ilulissat extremely rich and nutritious. The flourishing ocean life gave the Inuit cultures at Sermermiut some of the best living conditions in all of Greenland and the importance is still seen today in big fishing industry of Ilulissat.
