The Sigulda track is one of the few facilities globally where amateur visitors can ride a bobsleigh at competitive speeds.
The bobsleigh track was designed by engineers from the former East Germany in the 1980s.
The track features 16 turns and a total length of 1,200 meters for professional competitions.
The bobsleighs used for public rides are modified to include a braking system for safety.
The facility is a frequent host for international IBFJ and FIL world cup events.
Sigulda Adventures serves as a central hub for outdoor activities in the Gauja Valley, focusing on bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton-related experiences. The facility is located near the Sigulda Bobsleigh and Luge Track, one of the few in the world open to the public. Visitors can participate in soft-ice bobsleigh rides that reach speeds of up to 80 km/h. The venue operates as a primary access point for adventure tourism in the Vidzeme region. It coordinates seasonal sports activities including mountain biking, ziplining, and bungee jumping in the surrounding valley. The office at Jāņa Poruka iela 14 acts as the booking and logistics center for these excursions. It supports year-round operations with specialized winter ice tracks and summer wheeled sled configurations. The site is a key component of the Sigulda tourism infrastructure near the Gauja National Park border.

Book your bobsleigh or adventure slot online several days in advance, especially on weekends.
Wear layered, windproof clothing even in summer, as the speed of the bobsleigh generates significant wind chill.
Check the official weather conditions before arrival, as heavy rain or high temperatures can cause temporary track closures.
Do not show up without a prior reservation, as equipment and track time slots are strictly managed.
Operations depend heavily on track maintenance and competition schedules; winter ice season typically runs from November to March.
Athletic wear is recommended; closed-toe shoes are mandatory for all adventure activities.
