We chose Winter Forest for the first ride. The instructor explained everything calmly, the route was short but emotional enough. A great family format without extra extreme.

Guest review · February 12, 2026

We rode with the family and liked that nobody rushed us. The team helped at the start, we got nice forest photos and the child did not get tired.

How it differs

Winter Forest is the shortest and calmest ATV route in the lineup. It is made for a first vehicle experience, a family ride and a format without difficult off-road.

If you want more panoramas and mountain road, choose Sofia glaciers. If you want water and rocks, choose White Waterfalls. If you want more mud and terrain, choose Unnamed Lake.
