Ski Season is ON! 🎿❄️

The feeling of fresh air on your cheeks, perfectly groomed slopes, and smooth turns from side to side - followed by a cup of hot chocolate. What’s not to like?

With the main ski lift opening last weekend, ski season is officially in full swing here in Nuuk. Nuan!

You can rent skis and purchase lift passes at the lift. And don’t forget - kids up to 17 years old get free ski rentals and lift passes on weekdays.

See you on the slopes! ⛷️🏔️

2024 - A Year to Remember.

Thank you for all the love and support this past year—it’s truly been something special.

From spotlighting the incredibly talented artists of Nuuk to celebrating the monumental opening of our new international airport, 2024 has been filled with unforgettable moments in our little big capital.

Today, we celebrate Ullukinneq, the Winter Solstice. A day deeply rooted in Inuit culture and tradition. This marks not only the shortest day of the year but also a turning point towards brighter days ahead 🔆

For our ancestors, light was a matter of survival. It allowed hunters to track prey and ensured the community’s ability to thrive during the long, dark winters. Ullukinneq was celebrated with feasts of the best preserved foods, new clothing, and hunting gear. The festivities included drum dancing and storytelling. A tradition that continues to this day 💫

In Nuuk, with just 4 hours and 3 minutes of sunlight today, we honor this special day with events across the city, including gatherings at Katuaq and other venues. Let’s welcome the brighter days ahead together! 🎉

Drawing inspiration from Greenlandic culture and history, Kim Kleist Eriksen (Eriagisaq) creates exquisitely detailed, story-telling pieces, primarily from walrus tusk.

Ever since he was a young boy, captivated by the beautiful tupilaks at the local workshop in Sisimiut, Kim Kleist Eriksen has been fascinated by works of art from bone 🖌️

Eight years ago, he crafted his wife’s engagement ring from walrus tusk inherited from his father. Since then, he has pursued his passion as an artist. Full time since 2018 📈

Watch him share insights about his work in this video - we promise you’ve rarely seen a talent like his.

Today, we celebrate the incredible hunters of Greenland, from those who hunt recreationally to the full-time professionals providing us with locally sourced, sustainable food.

Hunting has been a cornerstone of Inuit history and a crucial part of surviving and remains a vital part of our modern society, nurturing identity, preserving culture, and showcasing the resilience and skill it takes to thrive in the Arctic.
Let’s honor the dedication, knowledge, and traditions that keep this proud heritage alive.
