Get to know the slopes of Riekstukalns

A
Main slope
{{arrow}}
The Main Slope offers one of the steepest descents.
The slope has two terraces - steeper sections alternating with gentler descents, giving a great feeling of flight.
To get to the slope, you can use the 1st, 2nd or 3rd ski lift.
B
Beginner slope
{{arrow}}
This slope is great for learning skiing and snowboarding. Our Beginner Slope is sufficiently smooth, which makes the speed just right for beginners, and it is also long enough for the beginner to learn something new with each time. It takes time learning how to use ski lift, therefore ski-lift for this slope is slower than the other. There is "magic carpet" on this slope for the little ones! It is important that your first attempt at skiing or snowboarding is not only technically right but also satisfying! If there is no one to teach you the basics of skiing or snowboarding, our instructors will be happy to assist.
C
Sports slope

This is the sportiest of all our slopes. It is just perfect for those who love really fast ride and feel confident about their skills. The steep upper section of the track ensures good start for a breath taking downhill ride.

There are two choices to make in this slope: you can choose to ride slowly and smoothly down a 350-meter long track, which will require some effort only in the upper section, but if you want some adrenalin on the right side of the slope you can also do some jumps.
