Slopes
Riekstukalns is located close to Riga and offers wide range of slopes. They will be suitable not only of a beginner or a lover of slow peaceful ride but also of an experienced skier or snowboarder. Have a look at our offers here at Riekstukalns and choose what’s best for you!

MAIN SLOPE

The Main Slope is for very fast riders. Throughout the slope you’ll find steep slopes alternating with flatter sections, which together will give you a pleasant illusion of flying. To get to the slope, you can use the 1st, 2nd or 3rd ski lift.

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.

BOARDERCROSS SLOPE

This is one of the most exciting tracks at Riekstukalns. Mostly it is suitable for those who like to add a little adventure to their skiing and snowboarding experiences. It is complemented with jumps and turns and depending on the speed each time you will get different experience. In this slope be careful – there must be 30 meter distance between you and a rider before you!

LONGEST SLOPE

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.

HOBBY SLOPE

This slope is for those who feel that the Beginner Slope has become too easy for them. The Hobby Slope has several steeper sections which are perfect for everyone trying to improve their skiing or snowboarding skills.

BEGINNER SLOPE

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. 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.

SNOWPARK

Craziest snowboarders will enjoy our Snowpark with two rows of ramps for high and super high jumps, several hips and all kinds of fun jibs.

SLEDDING HILL - CLOSED

Not available during season 22/23! If you don’t really feel like skiing or snowboarding, this is the right place to go down the hill on a traditional toboggan, a saucer, or any other thing you can sit on. If you don't have any sledge you can rent a snow-tube from us. Sledding Hill is loved by both kids and grown-ups therefore the older ones should be very cautious and follow the signs and security during the ride. We have assured that your trip will end softly and painlessly even if you don’t manage to brake on time.

TUNNEL SLOPE

The Tunnel slope is a connection between the 'old' Riekstukalns part and pass through a tunnel under the road to the new part. Here it is important to follow all directions and signs so the pass through the tunnel is safe.

RIEKSTUKALNS SLOPE

This route connects the new part of the slopes with the 'old' part of Riekstukalns and ends in the tunnel. Wide, with a pleasant fall a bit steeper at the top end flattened at the end to make it easier to control the speed and safely get through the tunnel.

ARC SLOPE

The Arc Slope offers an even terrain in the length of 250 m. The top part of the slope is slightly steeper that ensures a good run-up and further down descends into a flat fall. For those who love peaceful and flat runs, the Arc Slope will be the right choice to enjoy the leisure sports activities. The crest of the new hill of Riekstukalns opens a fantastic and unique view to Riga! The most convenient access to the Arc Slope is by ski-lift No. 14.
