No helicopter, no ferry, just the packraft: 11 kilometres of open water across Lake Akkajaure, then over a high plateau and back down an unknown mountain river. As close as possible to Padjelanta National Park, one of Sweden's most inaccessible national parks.

We were equipped with the MRS Barracuda R2 Pro tandem packraft, a tent, food and backpacks for three to four days.
