Nightfall and Huskies: A Private Overnight Sleddog Expedition to Kaperas Lake.
In the manner of true northern expeditions, this private overnight sleddog tour from Kiruna hands you the reins of a team of huskies and carries you across a silent winter landscape to Kaperas Lake Side Lodge, where a warm cabin, a three-course dinner and an overnight stay await. The format—afternoon pickup, dogs fed and cared for on arrival, an evening at the lodge, then breakfast and a return the next morning—frames an intimate wilderness passage that’s part active adventure, part secluded respite.
