Nightfall, Huskies and the Torne: An Overnight Aurora Dogsled from Kiruna.
Embark on an overnight dogsled journey out of Kiruna into Lapland’s snowbound silence, where you can either drive your own team of Alaskan huskies or ride on your guide’s sled. The route follows the landscape around the Torne River toward a private wilderness retreat, where a wood‑heated sauna, Lappish cuisine and a chance to watch the northern lights round out the evening before a night in a cosy cabin.

Drive your own team or ride along
After careful instruction on handling the sled across varying trail conditions, participants may drive a team of four Alaskan huskies or ride as a passenger on the guide’s sled as the group sets out into the wild.
Wilderness cabin, sauna and Lappish fare
The overnight includes time to relax in a wood‑heated sauna and a sit‑down dinner featuring Lappish cuisine accompanied by a bottle of wine or beer before turning in to cosy cabin accommodation.
Aurora viewing far from artificial lights
Set well away from light pollution, the private retreat offers a good chance to see the northern lights; under clear skies the stars are counted by the thousands.
What the day feels like
What the overnight feels like
The day moves from briefing to motion: after sled instruction you travel through Lapland’s quiet expanses toward a secluded wilderness retreat along the Torne River. Evening rituals—sauna, a hearty Lappish dinner and a vigil for the northern lights—give way to a night in a simple cabin. A morning of breakfast, dog care and a return run to the kennel in soft light completes the loop.
