So I saw these ads in the tram about the Ice skating rinks in Zurich.. I checked out the website, but it seems that they only have entry by season pass which costs about 115 chf..

Anyone have idea if there is a 1 time entry fee as well ?
Thanks..

Yes, they do have one time entry fee and I can't remember how much, but I remember thinking it's as cheap as chips!

Have a look at this....

Certainly is. Last season it was about 12 CHF, including skate rental.

I am a sucker for getting season passes for places, and then going twice. I managed to avoid this season pass.

There are three (that I know of) rinks in Zurich:
Dolder
Oerlikon
Heuried

the second an third are city-run. The city sports website has more info.

Great, heading over this weekend..
Does knowing a bit of quad roller skating help at all in ice skating ? I have never done it, but would really like to glide along and enjoy myself after 1-2 sessions.. possible at all ?

Hi, I found it on the web site too, here's the link: www.zuerich.com/en/welcome.cfm. I am hoping to get my skates and have fun

Definitely! I used to inline skate heaps and then moving to ice skating which was pretty easy. The biggest difference for me was that there are no 'brakes' on ice skates whereas my inlines had rear rubbers. But an hour or so on the ice and you will start to feel the similarities.
I have only ever skated on indoor rinks in Oz so looking forward to an outdoor one, it has been a while too so expecting quite a few falls
