The dog sled’s modern successor
Trips in never-ending snow-covered landscapes
Most of Greenland is covered by snow during the winter months, and there are thus fantastic opportunities for snowmobile enthusiasts. For many people in Greenland the snowmobile has assumed the role of the modern successor to the dogsled. The vast majority of hunters, however, have chosen to stick to the traditional sleds and in certain cases hunting is not allowed on snowmobiles. The snowmobile is therefore first and foremost a vehicle for recreation and leisure. Snowmobiling does not always go hand in hand with dog sledding, however, and in the municipalities in which there are sled dogs, there are often rules stipulating that snowmobiles may not be driven on traditional sled tracks and routes.
