When the snow comes to Latvia there is a surge in winter outdoor activities, one of the most popular with families, leisure groups and corporate clients is the Husky Sled Dog Adventure. This is your chance to learn how to command your own sledge and team of dogs around a 5km track.
In case you’d prefer to do this activity during the Summer season, we also have an alternative Riga Summer Husky Wheel Ride.
Husky Sled dogs have been used for hundreds of years as a means of transport in areas affected by snow, here is your chance to be a part of that increasing history. You will learn how these Husky dogs became more than just working dogs and why there is such a special bond between a musher and his pack.
Warm-up with a flask of tea and take in the beautiful Latvian countryside on this amazing activity.
