Description

Leave Riga behind and head into nature on a Husky sled or a wheel kart ride in the middle of a forest park. Immerse yourself in Latvia's wintry activities with your newfound furry companions by your side, embracing a new and unforgettable experience. Sit back and relax in your van as you head out of Riga and make your way to the forest scenes about 40km out of the city. Meet your friendly companions for your next journey—Huskies and Malamutes—and hop onto your sled or wheel kart for the ride of a lifetime. If there is no snow in the spring and autumn or mild winter, make the most of the outdoors anyway on a fun and speedy bike-kart ride through the forest. Enjoy taking charge of the kart and whizzing through the track. For the wheel kart ride the musher has to possess bicycle riding skills. During the experience enjoy being both a musher and a passenger on your 3-kilometer-long ride, with your Husky instructor following you on a quad bike or snowmobile. Feel safe and have fun every step of the way, surrounded by the pristine coniferous Ogre forest park. A part of the experience is also 30 minutes of walking in the forest and climbing up a hill and watchtower. Loads of fresh air, healthy steps and floors and splendid views are guaranteed! Head back to Riga having enjoyed your fill of fresh winter air and having made new furry friends.
