Skating in the Kinderregion
From atmospheric lakeside ice skating rinks to lively ice discos, families around Zurich can practice first spins, play hockey or simply enjoy a few easy laps together.
Read MoreRosy cheeks, frosty breath and trembling lips, but no one is ready to call it a day. The ice skating rinks around Zurich are simply too much fun, whether families are squeezing in one more lap or trying something new. Little ones push along with skating aids, while older kids work on their spins, play tag or chase the puck in a hockey game. Elsewhere, families dance at ice discos, try ice stock sport or sharpen their skills in a lesson.
The settings are just as varied: castle walls, strings of lights, lake and mountain views or the comfort of an indoor rink. And when fingers finally get too cold or stomachs start to rumble, it’s time for a quick stop by the fire, at a café or in a restaurant.
