Winter isn’t letting go just yet – and that’s exactly how we like it! The cold is still here, snow and ice are holding strong, and true winter fun is still very much alive. Which means only one thing: there’s still time to skate, ski, slide down hills, and enjoy winter like we did as kids.
As long as the frost lasts, Pierīga’s municipalities continue to offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors – on ice rinks, ski tracks, and snowy hills.

Reklāma
Here you can skate at sunset, ski in the quiet of the forest, laugh, fall, get back up, and head out on the trail again.
Choose the municipality closest to you, grab your skates or skis, and let winter delight you.
Because the best winter memories always start with the words:
“Let’s go just for an hour…” ❄️✨
