Dogsledding, 2 hours

Spending time above the Arctic Circle during the winter certainly calls for a classic dog sledding experience!

Not only will you gain new respect for the Greenlandic sled dog's keen abilities and innate environmental awareness while on a dog sledding expedition, but you will also better understand the importance of sled dogs to man's survival and everyday life north of the Arctic Circle. It is truly a heartwarming cultural experience.

Here in Kangerlussuaq, the fjord offers the opportunity for a sledding excursion across the frozen, flat ice, which can provide a more pleasant, smoother ride than when driving across hilly terrain.
The sled team will lead you over the fjord to enjoy the magnificient nature, as well as the love these dogs have for pulling the sled across the frozen terrain. Sled dogs work as a team with a clear hierarchy, where the driver is head of the pack. To begin, the driver will lead the team halfway, and then provide a lesson on how to control and care for the dogs. Before the excursion is over, you will have a chance to drive the sled and lead the team!
