A horse riding experience is a doorway to the heart of Lapland, that everyone should experience at least once in a lifetime. With every step, you leave behind busy roads, hurry and worries. Shortly we discover open marshlands, quiet forests, fell streams, and perhaps some roaming reindeer. Lapland has welcomed you home.

Diverse and ever-changing nature is best experienced from the saddle
When joining our riding experiences, our horses will take you through the varied terrain of Ylläs area. Along the way, you’ll ride through a typical Lappish heath forest, climb gentle slopes and hear the sound of flowing fell streams.
Eight seasons dress Ylläs in changing colours
Did you know, that instead of four, Lapland has eight different seasons? The changing seasons are strongly present on every ride, therefore making each season an experience worth seeing. Ylläs really shines when it comes to endless sunlight, vibrant autumn ruska colours and snow-white landscapes.
Our sure-footed horses know the way – you can just relax.
Konijänkkä’s horses are experienced hikers and move confidently through different terrains. On the tour, there’s no rush and no pressure to perform. The idea is to slow down, take in the scenery, breathe the pure air, and enjoy the company of the horses.
