Introduction of Site Fee
This one-time fee covers the visitor's entire stay in Ilulissat and helps fund the maintenance of trails, boardwalks, and daily supervision of the area. As part of the fee, visitors will also gain access to a 30-minute audio guide that provides insights into the area's natural and cultural history.
Why introduce the fee?
Since 2004, the UNESCO World Heritage Office has been funded by the municipality’s taxpayers. This has enabled the development of informational materials, trail markings, boardwalk construction, and the employment of Park Rangers to keep the area clean and well-maintained.
With increasing numbers of tourists, we believe it is now reasonable for visitors to contribute to protecting and preserving this unique World Heritage site.
Fee applies to the area close to Ilulissat
It is important to clarify that the Site Fee covers access to the entire land area between Ilulissat town and the Icefjord – not just the trails. This means that payment is required regardless of whether visitors choose to walk on the marked paths or beside them.
