Our guests can choose from a variety of unique accommodation options, including hotel stays in Sisimiut at Backcountry Hotel Sisimiut, the remote Kangia Lodge, exclusive luxury fly-fishing camps, and the wilderness retreat of Erfalik Lodge.
Beyond accommodations, Backcountry Greenland provides guided adventures such as hiking, boat tours, snowmobile, and ATV tours, allowing guests to explore Greenland’s breathtaking landscapes, starting from Sisimiut and reaching deep into the backcountry and Greenland fiords. The company is also dedicated to preserving Greenlandic culture, particularly through Greenland Dog Adventure, an initiative committed to safeguarding the tradition of Greenlandic sled dogs.
The logo
A logo is more than just a visual marker – it tells a story and reflects the values at the core of our company. It conveys our perspective on the world, our approach to meeting people, and the experience we aim to provide.
The triangular shapes in the logo symbolize both the mountains that rise as landmarks in the landscape and the places where people seek shelter and gather – from wilderness camps to cabins and our hotel. The organic lines represent paths through the landscape, much like the rivers cutting through the backcountry and the trails we follow. The long, lower stroke represents the vast backcountry between Sisimiut and the Inland Ice, an area that not only defines our history and way of life but also serves as the foundation for the experiences we create for our guests.
Here, we find not only our resources but also our inspiration. Nature is an active part of what we offer, whether through flavors rooted in local ingredients, meetings and conferences with time to think, or expeditions where silence, vastness, and landscapes create unforgettable moments that linger long after returning home.
The logo is a visual reminder of all this – a tribute to the past, a commitment to the present, and a responsibility for the future.
