Our **dogsled tour "Near Ilulissat"** offers an authentic glimpse into one of Greenland’s proudest traditions — guided by one of the country’s most accomplished mushers.

We start from our **dog yard in town**, where you’ll meet the eager sled dogs and help **prepare the sled and team** for the journey. Once ready, you’ll set off across the open plains towards the frozen lakes.

The route takes you **out towards the Akinnaq mountain**, where we stop for a cozy break with **coffee or hot chocolate**, time for **photos**, and of course, plenty of **dog cuddles**. After the pause, we **cruise back toward Ilulissat**, enjoying the peaceful rhythm of the sled gliding over early-season snow.

This is an alternative tour to our "Dogsledding in the Mountains" tour. "Dogsledding Near Ilulissat" is popular in the pre-season. \
