Ilonka Lapland

Huskies and kids’ dog sledding

At Ilonka, children and teenagers get to take the reins and drive the Husky sleds on their own or with the help of their parents. The different sized sleds and routes make the experience fun and safe. The retired Huskies enjoy the more peaceful pace. Husky Walks, Farm Visits and Sauna Experiences are available throughout the year. It’s wonderful to connect with nature and the beautiful dogs!

Check our activities for all ages!

Feel the connection

Come and experience the connection with our beautiful Huskies and other animals! Later during the year 2024 we will get alpacas, chicken and sheep. You will get to know these family members and learn about their life on the farm. And feel the presence and connection with nature!

Book your Farm Visit, Husky Walk or Overnight Husky Safari or stay overnight at the farm and enjoy the traditional Log Sauna Experience!

Visit our handicraft boutique

In our small boutique, you can find unique products hand knitted by Lilli and her grandmother Liisa. Woolen sweaters, socks, mittens and beanies – pieces of art to wear! In addition, you can find other handmade products such as candles, carpets, and tablecloths.

Do, be, sense and experience

The farm with story-based chores and sensory experiences will be opened near Ivalo and Saariselkä in August 2024. The functional tasks vary according to the eight Sami seasons and invite you to sense and feel the authenticity, do with your hands and learn about the connection with nature as well as yourself.

Savor the moments in the Kota cafe

After the outside chores and activities, it’s lovely to go inside the Kota cafe for lunch or a snack. Sitting by the fire place warms up your body and soul. The soups, pies, cakes and other delicacies, are cooked and baked at the farm. In addition to coffee, tea, juice and hot chocolate, you can also find Finnish herbal drinks in our assortment.
