Nuuk – Kapisillit Route (100–110 km)
Guided Fastpacking & Running Tour | 3 days + 1 backup day
Experience one of Greenland’s most iconic long-distance backcountry routes: the journey from Nuuk to Kapisillit. This guided tour covers approximately 100–110 km with around 4,000 meters of elevation gain, traveling through vast Arctic landscapes within the world’s second-largest fjord system.
The route starts in Nuuk and climbs quickly into remote terrain, where the scale of the landscape becomes the main feature: wide open backcountry, glacier-shaped valleys, abundant waterfalls, and towering mountains in every direction. Underfoot conditions vary significantly across the days, ranging from firm rock to ankle-deep moss, boggy sections, and loose scree. Snow patches can linger well into summer, and the route includes multiple stream crossings.
This is a remote and committing journey. Markers may exist in places, but they can be intermittent and difficult to spot, so the experience relies on GPX-based navigation and local route knowledge. Your guide is the course record holder for the route (completed in 14:34), bringing firsthand familiarity with terrain, pacing, and decision-making across the full distance.
The finish in Kapisillit is a unique highlight: a small fjord-side settlement of around 100 residents, reached only after hours of true wilderness travel—an arrival that feels both surreal and deeply earned.
Tour format: 3 days of fastpacking/running + 1 backup day
Season: June–September
Start: Nuuk (Anstalten or city center)
Finish: Kapisillit
Price:6,950 DKK per person (minimum 3 participants) — or ask for a custom quote.
