INFO<br />
The duration of our activities includes<br />
the time to gear-up / dressup,<br />
safety briefings and transfers to<br />
departure points.<br />
Our day starts with a safety briefing before we gear<br />
up. When we are all set, we will start our way to a<br />
small hunter’s hut by snowmobile. The route takes<br />
around an hour and a half, where we will follow the<br />
dogsled way. This same way is used by fishermen from<br />
Ilulissat to go fishing to the frozen fjord of Sikuiuitsoq<br />
(in <strong>Greenland</strong>ic: place that always has ice). Along the<br />
way we will stop in some viewpoints to see impressive<br />
panoramic views of the Ilulissat Icefiord and the ice<br />
cap.<br />
In the hunter´s hut we will leave the snowmobiles, put<br />
our snowshoes on and continue walking inside the<br />
UNESCO area (where snowmobiles are not allowed).<br />
It is time to start our adventure over the frozen sea<br />
and the small mountain next to the hut. The guide will<br />
choose the best itinerary according the location’s,<br />
safety and physical condition of the group. This<br />
snowshoe hike will take around 1 hour.<br />
After the hike we will stop for lunch. Then we will ride<br />
our snowmobiles back to Ilulissat, following the same<br />
way we came.<br />
