Experience Lapland with horses and huskies at Konijänkkä!
Konijänkkä is a small family-run company that offers unforgettable moments with horses and huskies in the enchanting fell landscapes of Ylläs.
Our focus is on small groups and sustainable tourism, with animal welfare as the cornerstone of our experiences. We provide horse riding tours, traditional sleigh rides, pony rides for the kids and thrilling husky sledding tours.

Our farm is located in Äkäslompolo, Kolari – just a short walk away from the Jouni Shopping Center. If you’re thinking about visiting us from Levi, you’ll reach us in about an hour, and from Rovaniemi in just over two.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DON’T HAVE ANY REINDEER ACTIVITIES!
What is Konijänkkä made of?
Of Hoofprints,
fresh fell air, silent forests, crunch of snow, rosy cheeks, jingle of bells, northern lights, winding paths and gentle snorts.
Of Joyful Barks,
gathering speed, open marshlands, arching trees, sparks of adventure, four-legged friends and the kisses they happily give.
Horse riding in Ylläs wilderness
One of Konijänkkä’s most popular experiences is horse riding tours, equally suitable for both beginners and experienced riders. The routes wind through changing landscapes in silent forests, where time stands still. Deep breaths of crispy fell air in untamed wilderness allow us to fully relax in the rhythm of hoofbeats.
All of our horses are seasoned explorers – did you know that many have traveled these trails even before birth, in their mothers’ wombs? Most of our horses are born and raised at Konijänkkä, some from bloodlines spanning several generations of Lappish spirit.
Your ride may be decorated by the glow of Northern Lights, magical crown snow-load, colourful autumn leaves, or the famous nightless night sun. However, one is for sure: the silhouette of Ylläs will always be in the horizon, leading us safely home.

What kind of adventure shall we embark on?
