Winter Sports

Skiing

The characteristic post-glacial relief of the terrain makes it ideal for organizing cross-country skiing or dog sled competitions. In addition, in Smolniki and Wiżajny there are ski lifts, and on Piękna Góra near Gołdap - also a snowy slope.

Sleighs

The area around Suwałki can also provide attractions in the winter. An unforgettable experience is a traditional sleigh ride in a beautiful winter scenery. The sound of bells, riding horses, creaking snow under the skids, a cold breeze of air ... And after the sleigh is over there is a dinner waiting straight from the fire.

Diving under the ice
