DOG SLED TOURS GREENLAND - ILULISSAT 69°13N

Dog sled Tours in Ilulissat

Ilulissat Tourist Nature offer a different range of dog sled tours In the Ilulissat area. Our experienced drivers (former fishermans) and their dogs have been travelling with sleds for years. In cold and long winters when the sea is frozen and it is difficult to sail, the fishermans uses the dog sled as a mean of transportation to get to the icefjord and back wit fish. Even with the introduction of the new and fast snowmobile, in Greenland where the mobile phone network does not cover the whole island and the temperature in the winter are in avarage 25 degrees celsius below zero, the dog sled is still the safest and most secure way to travel.  

In Ilulissat there are approx 3500 greenland dogs (the greenland dog is one of the oldest breeds in the world and it has been proven that the dog first reached Greenland with the Saqqaq people 4000 years ago). Usually a sled is pulled by 10/12 dogs.
