GENEVA’S BEST ICE SKATING RINKS 

Updated by Alexandra Osváth from the original article by Camilla Camponovo 

Ice skating is a great way to get through the cold winter months – and it’s not just for kids, either! Geneva offers a vast choice of ice skating rinks in almost every neighbourhood, from large and indoor to charming and outdoor, from family-oriented to the pros. Ice skating is a great way to get some exercise while having fun with family and friends. Grab your gloves, beanie and scarf, and let’s skate our way through the season!

Please note that most ice skating rinks require that all ice skaters wear gloves. Masks are usually not required on the ice.

BASTIONS – Ice skating in Geneva’s city centre

ice skating rinks geneva The ice skating rink at Bastions is in a beautiful setting in the heart of Geneva. The 400-square-metre rink is right next to the Reformation monument inside the park. The entrance to the rink is free, and renting ice skates is CHF 2.

This ice skating rink also has weekly special events: every Wednesday, from 3pm to 5pm (except during school holidays), the association Roller Slalom Geneva will display their incredible ice skating talent and invite visitors to join in exciting games.

The ice skating rink is open from now until Sunday, 20 February 2022 from Tuesday to Sunday. You can find more information about opening days and times here.

CAROUGE 

ice skating rinks geneva Entrance to this popular outdoor patinoire and renting skates on-site is free for children up to six years old; for those aged six and above, renting skates costs CHF 2 (an ID is required to rent skates). They have reserved time slots for ice hockey, too – check out the schedule.

And this is the only ice rink we’ve seen in Geneva that advertises adapted ice skating for people using wheelchairs!

They’ve scheduled several children’s discos on ice, too:

Friday, 17 Dec, 6pm-8pm
Friday, 14 Jan, 6pm-8pm
Friday, 28 Jan, 6pm-8pm
Friday, 11 Feb, 6pm-8pm

For those who came just to enjoy the scenery, there’s a little bar offering fondue, crêpes and soups.

The ice rink is open from now until Sunday, 20 February 2022, from Tues-Sun (closed Mondays). Visit their website for more information about opening times.
