Experience of The Month, Greenland
Endless wilderness adventures A mere 50 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle lies the small town of Sisimiut.

The hotel can cater for different events and experiences, giving guests a comfortable, relaxing stay, and where possible throw in some exceptional outdoor adventures too. Immersive adventures for everyone
“We speak of our area as a backcountry, because there is nothing beyond the town but pure nature,” says Anette Grønkjær Lings, co-founder of Hotel Sisimiut & Tours. “We like to say that our every day is your adventure,” she continues. Initially just a hotel, the business has slowly but steadily grown, since Grønkjær Lings and her husband took over Hotel Sisimiut in 2008. “Nowadays, we offer a whole range of experiences in the mountains, in our city and on the water,” Grønkjær Lings says.

cilities include an Arctic spa, a restaurant and a brasserie with the freshest of local and international cuisine, making this a top choice for tourists and business travellers alike.
“There are so many opportunities for exploration here,” says Grønkjær Lings, which became the starting point for expanding the business to include tours. It provides exciting and unusual experiences for adventurers, as well as families and caters for different interests and levels of ability. The opportunities to totally immerse yourself in nature and wilderness is what pulls people here. During the winter months, there is a focus on dog sledging adventures, as well as winter hiking.
