The snowmobile has become a very frequent mean of<br />

transport in <strong>Arctic</strong> countries, because it adapts to a<br />

wide variety of terrains and allows quick access to the<br />

remotest places. We will ride these vehicles in the arctic<br />

night and enjoy breathtaking views after going up the<br />

hills that dominate the Ilulissat skyline. From there, no<br />

sound or light polution so we can fully experience the<br />

winter nights.<br />

In the middle of the wilderness, where silence is all<br />

around us, we will have hot drinks and biscuits, tell Inuit<br />

stories and talk about the nature and lifestyle of <strong>Greenland</strong>.<br />

And if Sila allows us, we will witness the spectacular<br />

phenomenon of the Northern Lights from our scenic<br />

viewpoint.<br />

INFORMATION<br />

This tour is on a shared basis with<br />

a driver and guest per snowmobile.<br />

All participants driving must have a<br />

valid driving license, either for car<br />

or motorcycle.<br />

The duration of our activities includes<br />

the time to gear-up/ dressup,<br />

safety briefings and transfers to<br />

departure points.<br />

From mid-April, the daylight is<br />

longer, so our tours will be during<br />

the sunset and not when the night<br />

is dark.<br />

No previous experience is required. We provide all the<br />

equipment and our experienced guide will teach how to<br />

drive the snowmobile.<br />

Please note that due to unpredictable weather and<br />

conditions during winter, the itinerary of this tour is<br />

subject to change. While it is our goal to deliver the<br />

best tour experience possible, the safety of our clients<br />

is always our first priority.<br />
