When to go
From June to September, when boats run, the trails are accessible and the fields are green. Early in the season, sea ice floes can drift into the fjord and delay navigation.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Do you need a car?
No. The town is explored on foot; the trails start from the upper streets.
