Winter safari.

Imagine a vehicle that resembles a safari car, a mustertruck and a snowmobile. In Sisimiut we call it a monster sled, and in this case it will take you to the snowy landscape where all you have to do is sit back and take in the views of the wide open spaces, valleys and mountains.
Through the hinterland of Sisimiut you will be taken to viewpoints, get close to the local wildlife and experience the feeling of the Arctic wind in your face in Greenland’s early spring.

This tour is open to everyone, all ages and physical abilities.

Beginner snowmobiling – in the vast hinterland of Sisimiut.

The snowmobile glides effortlessly over the snow, and freedom seems to exist right where you ride. Having speed can be a challenge for some, but once you’ve tried this way of adventuring, we hear from our guests that they want to go again.

For beginners, this tour is a perfect way to learn how to drive a snowmobile: you’ll get all the basic knowledge you need to have a safe and fun ride out in the countryside. An instructor is with you from start to finish and you’ll receive a certificate of completion at the end.

Dog sledding – the white landscape whizzing by.

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

Before the tour, you’ll be introduced to the dog handlers who will take care of the dogs and help you prepare for the tour in the snowy landscape around Sisimiut. Read more about dog sledding.

Winter hiking.

A popular destination for winter hikers in the area around Hotel Sisimiut is Scout Lake . The hike takes you southeast of Sisimiut, with views of the coast and ice formations created by the tides. The terrain may have slight inclines, but is still accessible to most.

For those who want to test their hiking skills in a more challenging way, snowshoe hikes are also available. The tours take you along the mountains south towards glacial moraines, where you can see traces of the glaciers that have shaped the terrain as they moved towards the sea. On the tours, there’s even the chance to spot wildlife such as reindeer, polar foxes and snow hares.

Freshly fallen snow in the mountains and strapped on snowshoes is like being weightless – you’re almost flying.
