Maniitsoq

Maniitsoq

Nestled on an island at the mouth of a fiord world where alpine peaks rise two kilometers straight out of the water!

Maniitsoq as a town has a lot of character and highlights. Climb to the top of any of the many staircases in Maniitsoq for incredible views over the town and gorgeous photography opportunities.

Soaring mountains that have yet to be explored, innumerable glaciers, and deep fjords characterise one of the most impressive and wild regions of West Greenland. Mountain lovers and adventure seekers are drawn to the rugged beauty of the Maniitsoq area, which also offers rivers teeming with Arctic Char, vertical cliffs filled with birds, excellent whale watching (including from town), some of the best first-runs in the world for heli-skiers, and boat tours that visit an endless number of remote glaciers hidden in the fjords. Still relatively unknown, you are likely to see few (if any) other people making Maniitsoq a great destination for those looking for new adventures.

Maniitsoq is the gateway to the tallest and most impressive mountains on the West coast of Greenland. It is world renowned amongst heli-skiers and has attracted several of the world’s richest people and biggest brands over the years. It is also the perfect winter playground for cross-country skiers, ski tourers, and ski mountaineers with summit to sea skiing and untouched first runs.
