Latvia’s Switzerland: Guided Nature Walk

Hi, I’m Edgar. I guide private / small-group hikes on quiet forest trails with beautiful Gauja Valley views. This experience is approximately 12 km (≈7.5 mi) through pure nature, forests, river lookouts, and a few hidden viewpoints. We keep an easy-to-moderate pace and tailor the route to the group. Ready to breathe deep and explore?

What we’ll do

Start in Sigulda with a short briefing, then set off on a ~12 km loop/point-to-point route.

Walk mostly on forest paths with stops at scenic viewpoints over the Gauja Valley

Where we’ll be

Gauja National Park — Sigulda area: forest trails, river valley overlooks, and classic “Latvia’s Switzerland” scenery.

What To Expect

We start the trip from the Riga Central Railway station. Day trip to Sigulda: Explore Latvian Switzerland. We are going to Sigulda and back by train (it takes 1h 10min. each way) - you will get experience by Latvian railway and the train is one of the environment-friendly ways to travel. Afterwards, a beautiful hike (around 12-15 km) with breathtaking views over Gauja river valley with its natural and historical sites, ruins and castles - some of the most beautiful nature areas in Latvia. The Gauja National Park often called Switzerland of Latvia by locals is the largest and oldest of the national parks in Latvia, characterized by great biological diversity, a variety of landforms, natural springs, sandstone outcrops, picturesque views and unique natural, cultural and historical monuments. I want to help you discover Sigulda, often called the Switzerland of Latvia. I promise you nice views over Sigulda and the surroundings. Included: - train tickets (both ways) - guide during all time - individual tour or small group - good memories PLEASE NOTE! If you would like to participate on a date that is not available, don't hesitate to contact me.
