Dogsledding in the mountains!
Ilulissat
Dogsled Adventure in the Mountains — Ilulissat.
Experience the wild beauty of Greenland on this unique combination of snowmobile and dogsled!
🚩 Meeting Point – Ilulissat
We start at our meeting point in Ilulissat. Gear up with helmets and safety belts on our snowmobiles. 🏔️ Snowmobile Ride (17 km / ~30 min)
Drive through rugged mountains and untouched Greenlandic nature until we arrive at our cozy red cabin in the middle of nowhere, home to our 31 dogs doing the winter.
🐕 Dogsled Ride (11–12 km / ~1 hour)
Swap the snowmobile for the dogsled. Meet Jørgen, co-owner and 5-time Greenlandic Dogsled Champion, and glide across mountains, frozen lakes, and scenic trails. Our experience tells us that 1hour is more than enough for tourists - longer tours on the sled can be uncomfortable. 📸 Stop at our fav. Viewpoint
We stop at our favorite viewpoint over the Icefjord, glaciers, and the Greenland Ice Sheet. Take photos, cuddle the dogs, and hear thrilling Greenlandic stories. 🛷 Sled Capacity
We have two sleds and two dog teams, carrying up to 8 participants at a time. For larger groups or alternative times, just contact us directly—we’re flexible and work with multiple experienced mushers. ☕ Hot Drinks & Snacks at the Cabin
After some time at the viewpoint, we return to our cabin to warm up with drinks and snacks before heading back on the snowmobile to Ilulissat. 🏔️ Snowmobile Back to Ilulissat (17 km / ~30 min)
Enjoy the scenic ride back through the mountains to town. 📍 Season: January – April.
⏱ Duration: 3–4 hours (depending on snow and weather).
