- The facility is intended to be set up during the summer period from May to October. The project is justified by the desire to create more experience opportunities for the city's citizens and visitors, according to the consultation material.
It requires a land allocation to implement the project, where the cable car will start at the Aaqa institution, have a suspension line along the 400-meter road to end at the top of the parking lot at Nukissiorfiit.
The idea behind the project
The mastermind behind the cable car project, Gerth Poulsen, who owns Inuk Travel, believes that the city needs to be able to offer more experiences to tourists, and the cable car – which may end up being the longest in the Nordic region – will also be able to give the city's citizens a new and special experience.
Inuk Travel is behind several initiatives and different experiences.
At Inuk Hostels, a sauna and a wilderness bath have been established with a view of Sermitsiaq, and where it is also possible to experience the northern lights. Inuk Travel is the majority shareholder in Inuk Hostels.
Another investment that Inuk Travel has made is the purchase of 2 UTV tracked snowmobiles, which can accommodate six people at the same time, providing the opportunity to have a very special experience in the mountains far from city life.
The cable car is a natural continuation of an alternative adrenaline experience, as it is formulated.
- Let's now show the world what we can do here in Nuuk. There is so much we could offer here in Nuuk, says Gerth Poulsen.
The tourism industry must be developed
It is pointed out that there is a need to develop the tourism industry after the new Atlant Airport opens.
The consultation deadline is set for February 8th and you can read more about the project here on the municipality's consultation portal.
Once the hearing has been completed and the comments or objections received have been processed, the Administration for Construction and Environment will send the matter to the Committee for Technology and Environment, after which the municipal politicians will make the final decision.
