Dog Sledding Trip in the Ittoqqortoormiit Area (Nanu Travel demo)

Location: Ittoqqortoormiit

We start the day at the Nanu Travel tourist information center in the morning. The guide will accompany you to the dog sled, where the dogs will begin to get more and more excited about the impending trip. Due to the dogs’ extreme impatience in the morning, the trip may begin a little “dramatically.”

All our tour leaders are local mushers, and you can explore the fauna and nature of Greenland safely with the help of our native guides. In addition to being familiar with the terrain, the dogs, and the weather, the hunters will also tell you about local culture, hunting, etc.

And then you’re off! A crew of 10 to 12 dogs pulls the sled across the sea ice. On a decent sled trail, we travel to Kap Tobin. The village, formerly larger than Ittoqqortoormiit (Scoresbysund), is now uninhabited, and its homes are only used in summer.

Next, we take a right turn via a tight passageway between two cliffs as we continue on the trail through the settlement. We are heading for the warmest hot springs in Greenland, where we’ll stop for a while. The springs are about 62 degrees Celcius.

Polar bears are sometimes spotted near Kap Tobin, so if we’re lucky, we might see one in the distance. Wildlife is typically present around the edge of the sea ice, so we have a good possibility of seeing seals and marine birds.

You can choose between a quick stroll around Kap Tobin before the return journey or taking a quick trek along the ice edge.

Included
– Warm dog sledding suit, warm boots
