Lausanne: the best places for ice-skating

Montchoisi ice-skating rink

In summer, Montchoisi is a swimming-pool, and in winter the place turns into two outdoors ice-skating rinks. On the first one, you can exercise loops, flips, axels and any others figure skating jumps or just have fun with your friends. On the second one, you can enjoy a nice ice hockey game and some evening you can meet with friends for public ice hockey.

After exercising on the ice, the ice-skating rink restaurant is open for you. On the menu: beef tartar, traditional cuisine and portuguese typical meals as cod (you definitely have to try it once!).

Pontaise ice-skating rink

Pontaise ice-skating rink is a neighbourhood rink situated in the middle of the velodrome. It is the spot for families and athletes from the north of Lausanne. Close the Olympic stadium, it is a quiet place where you can have fun and enjoy a great moment with your family.

Do not forget to bring your own ice-skates! ?

The most known place for ice-skating lovers is definitely the brand new Vaudoise aréna !
