During winter time, the sea around Aasiaat freezes solid, which makes you feel as if the island has gotten bigger. This brings new possibilities for you to explore the back country. Luckily, we have just the way to explore large snow covered areas easily – snowshoeing.

Try one of our hiking routes or climb up the cliffs with the possibility to walk across deep snow without sinking in.
Our snowshoes are a fun and different way to take a walk during winter. Even though the route markings are buried in snow, hiking on most of the island of Aasiaat is accssessible due to the frozen lakes from late January until April. We provide you with a map of the island and will happily guide you to the best trips as well as inform you about safety and what to wear.
