Update from South Greenland

What’s new with existing operators?

• Siniffik Inn, Qaqortoq has expanded its capacity, offering both budget rooms as well as private double rooms with private facilities. The inn is locally-owned and operated by Heidi Mortensen Møller.
• Jacky Simoud, the founder, owner and long-standing manager of Blue Ice Explorer, Narsarsuaq, is retiring at the end of this year. We thank Jacky for his contribution to the development and promotion of tourism in South Greenland.
• KUJATAA, South Greenland UNESCO Office: The new Facebook page “Kujataa – World Heritage” uses fantastic photo albums, updates about field work and cooperative art projects to bring history to life. There are new local UNESCO Visitor Centers in Qassiarsuk and Igaliku, and more on the way.
• Qajaq Brewery, Narsaq has recently expanded its production facilities to increase distribution around the country and internationally. You can try all of the brews with a tasting flight at Cafe Inugssuk.
• Remember, we still have 8 farms in South Greenland that have hostels and guesthouses on site, making for the perfect multi-day hiking holiday in which every day ends with a warm bed.
• Off-the-beaten-track trip suggestion: stay at Seaside Whale Hotel in Alluitsup Paa and take excursions to the nearby hot springs and gold country, plus hike to Alluitsoq, a former town with deep German missionary roots, and the birthplace of the man who developed the written Greenlandic language.

Thanks to Kujalleq Municipality’s Tourism and Business Development Consultant, Sarah Woodall, for the update!
