Best Places to go Ice Skating in Zurich
Winter 2022 / 23
Ice Skating In and Around Zurich
Ice skating and Switzerland are synonymous and in Zurich there are lots of places to practice the sport. However, if the thought of gliding across the ice leaves you cold, there is usually a good cafe attached to most rinks where you can procure a hot Glühwein or two and warm up as you watch every body else skating (or falling head over heels).
Hiring Ice Skates
If you want to take part but don’t have your own skates you can simply hire a pair for a small additional cost at the rink. Entrance prices don’t tend to vary too much and are generally around CHF 4 – 12 for children and CHF 8 to 15 for adults – but do check each rink for the correct details.

Lake Skating
Some of the lakes in Zurich such as the Greifensee and the Katzensee become additional natural ice skating rinks which can only be used (at your own risk!) if it gets super cold and they freeze over and permission is given! The Katzensee is located at Seebad Katzensee, Katzenseestrasse, 8046 Zurich.
In December 2015 the Oeschinensee in Switzerland froze over for the first time in 19 years and for a short period of time ice skating took place on this unique natural rink. See here for details.
