Where to stay
Depending on when you arrive and how keen you are to get started, you will likely want to spend at least one night in either Kangerlussuaq or Sisimiut before you embark on the Arctic Circle Trail.
We would actually encourage you to spend more days in each area as there is a wide range of different excursions offered and it helps support the economy of the local communities. Check out our Extend your Stay section for the different types of excursions and day hiking opportunities in both places.
