Reviews

I had so much fun with Julia and I now have a favorite dog. This is the best way I could ever imagine trying dog sledding for the first time.

Today I went on a dog sled tour with Hotel Sisimiut and Tours, and our guide Julia gave me a personal experience with nature and the sled dogs that was paw-some! Julia was like the canine whisperer. She knew each dog's name and personality and introduced me to them like they were old friends. Before I knew it, we were racing across the snow-covered terrain with our new furry besties. As we glided across the frozen tundra, Julia regaled me with tales of her adventures with the sled dogs and taught me the ins and outs of mushing. I even got to drive the sled, which was a howling good time! The dogs were so friendly and full of energy, it was impossible not to fall in love with them. And as we took in the stunning views of the Arctic landscape, I felt grateful for this unforgettable experience. Thanks to Julia and Hotel Sisimiut and Tours for an amazing adventure with the most lovable sled dogs in Greenland. I'll be howling your praises for a long time to come!.

Meet Julia

Julia has a big heart for animals and sled dogs in particular. She has thrown herself wholeheartedly into the Greenland Preservation program to save the Greenlandic Sled Dog.

 

This  season it is mainly Julia you’ll go exploring dogsledding  with.

Julia comes from a tradition of dog sled drivers in Sisimiut, but also in her family the snowmobile is slowly taking over.

Both Julia’s grandfathers and mother drove dog sleds and her uncle has taught her to sew harnesses. For Julia, preserving the Greenlandic sled dog is serious business.

She experiments with ways of working with the dogs in such a way that guests can experience these completely unique dogs, which are only found north of the Arctic Circle in Greenland, all year round.
