Ozolkalns

There are two lifts on the hill - an anchor lift and a rope tow.

The best way to start learning to ski is with a ski or snowboard instructor. All instructors working at Ozolkalns are certified and get on well with both children and adults. Ozolkalns is a place where the whole family can relax together. The ski equipment available for hire is suitable even for very young children. Children have their own run with an anchor lift.
