Vintereventyr-pakke | Kangerlussuaq & Sisimiut
Opdag nogle helt unikke måder at være aktiv på i nyfalden sne! Pakken passer bedst til dig der elsker at være på eventyr med lidt fart på.
Om vinteren viser Grønland sin helt unikke side dækket af sne og is. Ligesom dagslys tiden er længere om sommeren er mørke tiden længere om vinteren, men landet er dækket godt med sne som får alt til at virke lysere og gladere.
Kangerlussuaq ligge lige ved grænset af polarcirklen. Sisimiut ligger 40 km nord for polarcirklen, og det betyder at man virkelig er i den arktiske del af verdenen.
Kangerlussuaq ligger helt inde i bunden af en enorm fjord, og navnet betyder også “store fjord”. Under 2. Verdenskrig byggede amerikanerne deres luftbase lige her, og i dag kender vi den som porten til Grønland! Der er nem adgang til indlandsisen og skal man køre en tur til gletscheren er der rigtig gode chancer for at se de store landdyr som rensdyr og moskusokser.
Sisimiut er den næststørste by i Grønland med omkring 5.500 indbyggere. Lige meget hvad for en sæson man er i er det her eventyrene sker! Om sommeren er der lokale der cykler og vandrer, og om vinteren er det med hundeslæde og snescooter. Faktisk vil dit eventyr bare være en del af de lokales hverdag! For Sisimiut er det perfekte sted for at køre på snescooter og er helt sikkert et hotspot for vilde snescooterture i det frie og fantastiske snedækkede landskab.
Her får du chancen for at tage ture med snescooter og med hundeslæde som du aldrig vil glemme. Naturen er lige uden for din dør, så du vil hurtig fornemme skelnen mellem civilisation og ødemark. Der er også gode chancer for at se nordlys.

We are an Australian couple aged 69 and 85 who undertook the “Winter Adventure Package – Kangerlussuaq and Sisimiut” tour in March 2023. The itinerary and activities were interesting and good fun. Inesa, our travel contact with Guide to Greenland was excellent. Well-organised, flexible and professional, she always provided prompt, friendly and helpful responses to our queries. The tour was well organised via Seria from Tupilak Travel who provided friendly and efficient service. The accommodation was also very good.
Greenland in winter is stunning and it is well worth noting that the tour was entirely “do-able” for people of our age, even with outdoor activities in winter. Greenland was not all that cold (although we are used to travelling in extreme Siberian Russia). You do, however, need quality cold-weather clothing and snow boots. Inesa’s advice to bring “spikes” or cleats with us was invaluable.
Our destinations of Kangerlussuaaq and Sisimiut were both fascinating.
The bus trip to the ice cap was a real highlight of our stay in Kangerlussuaq. Our Hotel Kangerlussuaq room was spacious and well-furnished. But it’s well to know that the hotel is huge, with numerous steep stairs to negotiate with your luggage, and few lifts. There is a cafeteria with average food. It is also worth noting that the up-market Musk Ox Restaurant is often booked out and it is advisable to book well in advance. There is an option to dine at the nearby Roklubben Restaurant at Lokur. A bus is provided to take people to and from the premises. The food was very good and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal there.
Our stay in Sisimiut was extremely well organised by the manager Sisi, from Hotel Sisimiut. The staff could not do enough for us. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the mountainous backcountry by snowcat and dog sledding with local provider Julia, owner of Greenland Dog Adventure. Our accommodation at the Sisimiut Hotel was excellent; well-appointed and comfortable. The adjoining Nasaasaaq Restaurant which can be reached internally via a “tunnel” from the hotel was very good.
Adding a trip from Kangerlussuaq to Sisimuit was a last-minute decision, and we were very pleased we undertook this tour.
