Dog sledding is a meaningful part of Greenlandic Culture and
is a traditional, age-old form of transportation that has been
used by the Inuit for centuries when the landscape becomes
otherwise impassable beneath blankets of snow and ice.
The trip between Kangerlussuaq and Sisimiut offers a true
expedition experience, allowing you to test your limits in a
controlled environment and truly begin to grasp Greenland’s
enormity. During the 3-day journey, you will mostly overnight
in remote hunting cabins, but some time will be spent in a
tent.
INFORMATION
When booking a dog sledding
tour, the number of guests
permitted on the sled per
excursion is two. The minimum
age for participation is 10.
Pricing varies depending on
the number of guests who will
be joining the excursion.
Together with the sled driver on this expedition, you will
experience Greenland’s harsh and captivating environment,
where people, animal and nature work harmoniously. You will
become an important part of the team and will be involved
with preparing food, packing the sled and feeding the dogs.
The trip can be quite challenging at times and guests should
be in good health and condition. Due to the rough and
unpredictable terrain, including ascents and descents, we do
not recommend this tour for people who have back problems.
Please note that it is obligatory to rent polar clothing
(seal skin or down) and boots, unless you have proper
polar equipment of your own. In our experience, very few
participants bring adequate equipment to ensure their safety
and comfort while on the expedition. Our staff will determine
whether you have proper clothes for this expedition.
