SIGHTSEEING & HIKING
Please note that venturing beyond Pyramiden requires strict adherence to safety protocols. It is essential to carry appropriate safety equipment such as a suitable gun and signal gun, and be proficient in their use. We highly recommend arranging guided tours for sightseeing or hiking trips, as guides not only ensure your safety but also enrich your experience with fascinating Arctic tales.
| SIGHTSEEING TOUR to Goose Lakes The walk to Goose Lakes is the easiest and most accessible in the vicinity of the Pyramid. The lakes were artificially created as reservoirs, and the peculiarity is that a frozen embankment serves as a dam for them. You will be able to appreciate first-hand the futuristic appearance of the above-ground structural elements that once kept the soil frozen deep below the surface, creating a barrier to water. The lower lake still serves as an active source of water for the village. On the way back, you can visit the Bottle House - a special, remarkable place, and perfect for relaxing at the end of the walk to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee.
