Introduction

Here in the remote village of Kulusuk, husky teams are still a vital part of the daily routine, used both as a means of transport and for hunting expeditions. Harnessed up and keenly padding over fresh snow or tethered outside the brightly painted wooden homes, these intelligent and noisy huskies are truly in their element. The Tasiilaq area has a considerably milder climate than the other dog sledging regions in Greenland therefore also a richer snow cover across its magnificent landscape.

Each sledge has its own driver and team of eight to twelve huskies, who must train together for over a year. You’ll pick up some of the secrets of ‘mushing’ from him as you glide silently over the ice and snow. The load on the sledge depends on snow and ice conditions but is generally 2 or 3 persons. No special skills are needed to take part, but a reasonable level of fitness is a must if you are to enjoy this trip to the full. One introductory husky sledge ride and one full day on the sledges are included – further optional excursions can be taken at additional cost, payable locally.

Spring weather is often clear and crisp and with the long hours of daylight, ideal for sledging. At this time of year, there is still a chance to observe the magical northern lights.

Note: Meal basis - this is full board whilst in Greenland and breakfast only when in Iceland.

Please note the itinerary shown here is for 9 nights – shorter trips of 5 or 6 nights are also possible.
