The Nuuk Five Peaks Guided Tour offers the full Five Peaks route as a professionally guided mountain running or fast hiking experience, available on request at a date of your choice. This tour follows the same classic local loop used for the race and provides a safe, structured way to experience Nuuk’s most iconic mountain challenge.
The route covers 25 km with approximately 2,000 meters of elevation gain and includes technical terrain, off-trail sections, steep ascents, ridgelines, and limited established paths. The tour combines trail running and light mountaineering, and is suitable for experienced runners with good mountain fitness.
The five peaks included in the tour are:
Lille Malene / Quassussuaq (443 m)
Store Malene / Ukkusissat (772 m)
Store Malene / Ukkusissat – second summit (772 m)
Kangilequtaat (787 m)
Kuanninnguit (472 m)
During the tour, the guide manages pacing, route choices, safety considerations, and local knowledge, allowing participants to focus fully on the experience. The route also passes through Paradisdalen (the “Paradise Valley”), offering a varied and scenic contrast to the surrounding mountain terrain.
This guided tour is ideal for runners who want to complete the Five Peaks challenge outside race day, visiting athletes seeking a unique mountain running experience in Greenland, or small groups looking for a demanding and memorable day in Nuuk’s backcountry.
Price: 1,400 DKK per person
Minimum: 3 participants (or ask for a custom price)
