Winter Joy in the Heart of Riga
When winter settles over Riga, one of the city’s most beautiful public parks — Uzvaras Park — comes alive with the spirit of winter sports. During the cold season, cross-country skiing becomes a popular activity here, offering both residents and visitors an opportunity for active recreation and quality time outdoors.
If you are staying at Camping & Yachts and are looking for some winter activity, cross-country skiing in Uzvaras Park is a perfect option. The park’s well-prepared trails offer fun for both beginners and experienced skiers.
The Ski Track – What Can You Expect?
The ski track in the park forms a loop of about 1 kilometer, suitable for both beginners and experienced skiers. It is designed to support both classic and skating techniques, thanks to artificial snow and well-maintained trail preparation.
The track is located close to Uzvaras Boulevard (address: Uzvaras bulvāris 15, Riga), and its use is free of charge if you bring your own equipment.
For those without their own gear, there is a ski rental service available in the park. Skis, boots, and poles can be rented at an affordable price:
-
Adults: around €5 per hour
-
Children and seniors: around €4 per hour
The rental operates daily from 10:00 to 21:00.
Winter Fun for Everyone
The ski track is popular with families, sports enthusiasts, and casual visitors alike. When temperatures drop below zero and snow conditions are right, people of all ages gather to enjoy the magic of winter — beginners and experienced skiers, young and old, all sharing smiles on the snowy trail.
Weather conditions may shorten the season, but as soon as snow appears, Uzvaras Park becomes one of the best places in Riga for healthy and enjoyable winter activities.
Inspiration for Winter Days
If you’re looking for a way to enjoy winter without leaving the city, skiing in Uzvaras Park is an excellent choice. It offers physical activity, fresh air, and a chance to spend time with friends or family. Even when natural snowfall is limited, artificial snow and careful maintenance ensure a quality skiing experience.
