Dog sled ride – day trip

The dogsled is an important part of the Greenlandic culture. In ancient times, it was the only means of transportation in the winter months, when the land was covered with ice and snow.

It is a breathtaking tour with numerous impressions of Greenland in winter. First you will ascend to the viewpoint of Qiterlinnguaq, with an impressive view over the Kangerluarsuk Tulleq Fiord to the north, and the town and Nasaasaaq peak in the south. The tour then continues down the steep northern slope onto the frozen fiord, and on the fiord ice to the upper end of the fiord.

You will experience a sled ride through rugged terrain with steep mountainsides. It is a beautiful and exhilarating experience, where the sled driver and the dogs work in perfect harmony to negotiate the challenges of the route.

Dogsled tours are not recommended for people with severe back problems, as they can be bumpy rides.
