Arctic Circle Adventure in Kangerlussuaq & Sisimiut

Give that snow-lovin’ kid in your heart something to look forward to this winter

Remember when you were a kid and you and your siblings did a snow dance in your PJ’s wishing for a school closing so you could play outside for hours the next day?

A winter holiday in the Arctic Circle Region gives you all that excitement again – plus fun adventures – and this time the snow is guaranteed. Dancing in your pajamas optional.

Between Kangerlussuaq and Sisimiut lies the only trail in the country that takes you from Ice Sheet to coastline.

The sled dogs, snowmobiles, and winter fat bikes have been waiting all summer just for you. Which one would you choose?

A winter holiday in the Arctic Circle Region gives you all the excitement back!
