Accommodation at Hotel Sisimiut.

Staying at Hotel Sisimiut gives you views and easy access to the vast hinterland of Sisimiut. In the restaurant you can taste traditional Greenlandic cuisine with their Greenlandic buffet. Special dishes include; mattak – blubber from narwhal, musk ox, reindeer, snow crab and freshly caught shrimps.
Outside on the terrace you can experience the arctic spa; sit in the hot tub with sky view, followed by a sauna.

As guests, you have free access to cross-country skis, sledges and snowshoes, and the staff will help you get customized sizes.

Experience the stunning Northern Lights right above you.

Greenland, and especially Sisimiut, with its clear and clean atmosphere, is an ideal place to experience the Northern Lights, especially in winter when the nights are long.

Local guides will take you to dark areas away from the city lights to maximize the chances of seeing the magical phenomenon.

Ride a snowmobile in the vast hinterland of Sisimiut.

The snowmobile glides effortlessly over the snow, and freedom seems to exist right where you ride. It can be overwhelming for some, with a light tap on the accelerator and you’re off and running, but once you’ve tried this way of adventuring, we hear from our guests that they’ll want to go again.

You will be introduced to the snowmobile, have the opportunity to get to know it, set your own speed and pace so that you feel confident to drive out into Sisimiut’s beautiful snowy landscape. Along the way, stop for a break and a snack and enjoy the view of the Davis Strait.

Dog sledding – the white landscape whizzing by.

Time is forgotten by the sound of dogs’ paws on the snow, the wind on your face and the white landscape gliding by.
For many, a dog sled ride across the ice, sitting close to loved ones and the white ice and snow rushing by is a must-see. And with good reason. It’s like excitement mixed with the humility of being so small, but still being able to feel the magnificence – all coming together on a dog sled ride.

Sled dogs are an integral part of life in Sisimiut and are known for their strength and endurance. Before the tour, you will be introduced to the dog handlers, and during the tour you will experience the dogs’ interaction, their speed and their cooperation with the dog sled driver up close.
