Leysin Ice Rink: year-round skating in the resort

An Ice Rink Open All Year Round

Here’s a rare feature in a resort: the ice rink in Leysin is open all year round, not just in winter. Located at the entrance of the village, it is part of the sports centers of Leysin and offers public skating in a relaxed atmosphere. Families come here, rain or shine, for a sliding outing sheltered from the elements. All equipment can be rented on-site, making the activity very convenient even when you don’t have your own gear.

What Your Children Will Discover

Children lace up their skates and discover (or rediscover) the joy of gliding on ice. For beginners and younger children, renting hockey sticks and especially ice scooters makes the first steps easier and builds confidence. Helmets are also available for rent, ensuring safety while skating. It’s the perfect place to learn to balance on blades without pressure.

What You Can Do There and the Atmosphere On-Site

The atmosphere is family-friendly and cheerful. You rent your skates at the reception, gear up, and then enjoy the public skating sessions. A skate sharpening service is available (7 francs per pair) for those who have their own equipment. A large free parking lot borders the ice rink, and a free shuttle serves the site (ice rink stop), making access easier. Hours may vary depending on ice maintenance and activities: it’s best to check before coming.
