Winter in Sisimiut is a feast of adventures; make the most of your time there by exploring the area by snowshoe, on skis or experience the ancient traditional way of travelling; Dog sledging in the Arctic nature just a few steps from your hotel. Depending on the ice situation, you may also choose to join boat excursions to remote abandoned settlements nearby.

In the evenings relax in the Arctic sauna and baths while watching the Northern Light dancing in the sky or join a Northern Light adventure on snowmobiles.

The town is a melting pot of old and new and everything in between. The area has been inhabited by humans the last 4500 years, so the area is filled with history.

Sisimiut (Greenlandic for ‘Those who live in fox holes’) is where the traditional and the modern Greenland meet.
