The farm to farm-tour in South Greenland will guide you through sheepfarming areas. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to observe numerous Norse and Inuit ruins. The tour utilizes Icelandic horses, which are well-trained and adept at navigating challenging terrains. The primary focus of the tour is to showcase the landscape, icebergs and the daily life and hospitality found on different farms. Additionally, the tour offers storytelling sessions about arctic sheep farming, displays of traditional Greenlandic attire and a guided tour by a certified site-guide of two reconstructed Norse ruins.

I am the third generation to manage our sheepfarm. Alongside our 600 sheep, we also take care of Icelandic horses, chickens, cats and dogs.
We established our company in 2015, and the first riding tour took place in 2016. These tours occur in the vicinity of Qassiarsuk, where sheep farmers reside.
