Terme Sigulda

Sigulda is the outdoor adventure capital of Latvia and the gateway to the Gauja National Park, a deeply forested river valley in the northern Vidzeme region where bicarbonate spring waters filter through ancient Devonian sandstone and dolomite formations that created the dramatic river canyon landscape. The Gauja valley with its medieval Livonian Order castles, red sandstone caves, and autumn foliage that rivals New England in its intensity has earned Sigulda the nickname Switzerland of Latvia, attracting visitors from across the Baltic states. The town's Olympic-standard bobsled track — open to public rides at 80 km/h on natural ice — combined with the forest thermal spa creates a uniquely Latvian combination of adrenaline winter sport and mineral spring recovery in one of the Baltic states' most scenic landscapes.
