The snowmobile has become a very frequent form of
transport in Arctic countries, because it adapts to a
wide variety of terrains and allows quick access to the
remotest places.
The backcountry of Ilulissat offers great landscapes to
be discovered. Our local guides and modern
snowmobiles are a great way to explore snowy valleys
and mountains, frozen lakes, fjords and the sea ice.
Our guide will choose the route depending on snow,
ice and weather conditions. One choice will be visiting
the authentic settlement of Oqaatsut 20 km north from
Ilulissat where 37 Inuit live all year round.
The other choice is a route that has an unbeatable
scenery. We will go up the mountains, see dogsleds
doing their route to ice-fish in the Icefiord, and reach
a series of viewpoints of Ilulissat, Disko Bay and the Ice
Cap. In both routes we will stop to have some hot drinks
and biscuits.
INFOMATION
This tour is on a shared basis with
a driver and guest per snowmobile.
All participants driving must have a
valid driving license, either for car
or motorcycle.
The duration of our activities includes
the time to gear-up/ dressup,
safety briefings and transfers to
departure points.
From mid-April, the daylight is
longer, so our tours will be during
the sunset and not when the night
is dark.
No previous experience is required. We provide all the
equipment and our experienced guide will teach how to
drive the snowmobile.
Please note that due to unpredictable weather and
snow conditions during winter, the itinerary of this tour
is subject to change. While it is our goal to deliver the
best tour experience possible, the safety of our clients
is always our first priority.
