Winter Dogsledding in Ilulissat

Ever dreamt about dogsledding in Greenland? Fulfill your dream on this 8 day trip to Ilulissat.

The silence is overwhelming, and the horizon never seems to end. The white surface is covered with a new topping of snow and the sun shines from a cloudless blue sky. The frost bites the cheeks and the dogs are eager to get going. The air is full of expectation. On the command of the driver the sled takes off. You are being pushed back. The speed surprises you as well as the significant smell from the dogs…

Release your inner adventurer and participate on this ultimate sled trip experiencing the best of Ilulissat in winter time. The four day sled trip will give you lots of highlights of some of the most striking experiences in the grand nature.

Preparation for a trip like this is essential and the organizers will give you thorough information about food, clothing and route as well as going through your personal equipment. The information meeting will be held upon your arrival to Ilulissat and the beautifully located Hotel Arctic.

The program of this trip includes not only a meeting with the fantastic landscape surrounding Ilulissat but will also present you to the traditional hunting methods as well as the daily life in settlements. The dogsled trails followed on the trip are used by the fishermen going out to the fishing grounds even in winter time. Watching them work and by hand and long line pull out Halibut from the deep, cold waters is a unique experience. You won’t get closer to nature.

Nature is rough 300 kilometer north of the Arctic circle. The weather and the sledging determine the route. There may be impassable deep snow in Qoororsuaq, snow storms or ice bergs in the fjord Sikuiuitsoq preventing the fishermen from placing their long lines. Accomodation enroute also depends on the weather condition, so be prepared to sleep in cabins or tents. This is the essence of nature’s power, but rest assured that the experienced sled drivers will do what they can to give you a perfect trip full of memorable moments.
