Lakita Lodge — Luxury Private Lodge, Swedish Lapland

A signature Lakita Lodge experience, dog sledding begins with a gentle introduction to the dogs, the sled and the art of mushing. You may choose to drive your own sled or ride with the guide, allowing the experience to feel as active or as contemplative as you wish. Guided by our own remarkable huskies, you move through forests, frozen lakes and open snow, carried by the energy of dogs who live for the trail, and may be lucky enough to see a majestic moose cross your path.

On a frozen lake, a hole is drilled through the ice, the fire is lit, and the silence of the North settles around you. Simple, traditional and deeply atmospheric, ice fishing offers a slow and beautiful way to connect with the northern winter — with the added thrill that, if perch or pike are caught, they may become part of dinner that very same evening.
