Dog sledding expedition | Kangerlussuaq to Sisimiut | West Greenland

This tour is an exhilarating journey through the Greenlandic wilderness, and with the harsh conditions of winter, it is not for the faint of heart. This experience is a true expedition type, and what you'll get out of it, is well worth the money and effort.

You will be travelling cross-country over the ice and mountains, with skilled and knowledgeable guides who will teach you what to do while travelling with dogsled. You will get to know the Greenlandic sleddog and understand how strong and useful they are as a pack, through testing your limits, spending nights in remote hunting cabins and in tents.

This experience will completely change your mind of how man and animal can work harmoniously together to battle the forces of nature. You will quickly become an important member of the team, helping out with food preparation, dog feeding and packing down the camp to fit on the sled. This trip is a challenge and is therefore not recommended for anyone with health issues or a bad back.

During this trip you will go into unpredictable snow conditions, ascending and descending hills and mountains far below freezing temperatures. It is obligatory to rent adequate polar clothing and boots unless you have your own, which in our experience is rare, the staff will determine whether or not yours are suitable to ensure your comfort and safety. 

The tour is normally from Kangerlussuaq to Sisimiut, but if you'd prefer to start from Sisimiut then please contact us.
