Dog sled expedition

The dog sledge is an important part of the Greenlandic culture. In ancient times it was the only means of transportation in the winter months, when the land was covered with ice and snow.

The trip between Kangerlussuaq and Sisimiut is no less than a life time experience. The conditions are similar to a real arctic expedition: Under controlled circumstances, you may test your personal limits and hereby get an unforgettable impression of the country’s grandeur. The tour lasts three days and you will usually sleep in hunting cabins, though you may have to spend the night in a tent as well. Together with your sled driver you will experience the rugged and fascinating Greenlandic nature, where man, animal and wilderness are merge in perfect harmony.

On this tour, you will form a part of the expedition team and participate in the daily work along the way, such as cooking, packing the sled and feeding the dogs.

This tour is quite strenuous at times, and requires a reasonably good physical condition on the part of the participants. Dogsled tours are not recommended for people with severe back problems, as they can be bumpy rides.

Please notice that it is obligatory to rent polar clothes (seal skin or down) and boots unless you have proper polar equipment your self. But it is our experience that very few participants bring proper equipment. It is our staff that decides whether you have proper clothes for this expedition.
