There are some severals rinks in Zürich. Effretikon, Oerlikon, Wändeswil etc..We can choose the convenient one based on our number and location.


All categories of ages at all levels (beginners, intermediate, advanced) are welcome.

I look forward to getting a good number of interested and hope to get to know you real soon...

Re: Forming a Group of Ice Skaters in Zürich!

I would love to join once I arrive in Zurich. Do I need to bring along my skates? Not sure if I want to bring my own from home, they will take up space in my suitcase!

Re: Forming a Group of Ice Skaters in Zürich!

I will be definitely in as well, however I'm in the "great white north" for a couple more weeks.

I have 2 pairs of skates, but most places rent out for well unde 10 francs.


Set up a good event, we'll all have a good time, shred some ice and drink some Glu-Wein (sp?)

Re: Forming a Group of Ice Skaters in Zürich!

Dear All,

This is great! I am glad we are now 6 and a good group to start with!

Divine_host, Candian JW, Chemmie, Sagitta (+OH) and myself!

I will plan something for January hopefully on a nice sunny weather!

You can rent the skates for CHF 6 if you visit the rink in Effretikon. Please let me know if you have any other preference. We can also go to Oerlikon or to Dolder. I personally havent been.

I will keep you posted. In the meantime please check your inbox / Thread from to time.

@Sagitta: I am not sure if the member OH exists. Please let me know.

Regards to everyone and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

I think you'll find that 'OH' is 'Other Half' meaning partner - husband, wife or maybe also boy- or girlfriend.

Re: Forming a Group of Ice Skaters in Zürich!

Hi - I live too far to join. But would you like me to tell you when our local lake is frozen and conditions right for ice-skating there. See Lac des Taillères, La Brévine. When conditions are right, skates are available for hire, and Vin Chaud, chestnuts and hot dogs, etc for sale. It is the most brilliant place to skate on a very cold, crisp and sunny day. About 2 km by 350m- my favourite skating rink.

Great to hear from you! We have got our own skates and all of the mentioned rinks are OK for us.
Personally I have always wanted to go skating in Braunwald. I've heard there is a great skating rink with the view of the mountains.
Read Longbyt for a clarification of OH. He very much exists.

Re: Forming a Group of Ice Skaters in Zürich!

Speaking of ice skating, is there a pick-up hockey league that you know of in Zurich? I haven't played hockey in years, but it would be fun to try it out again. I'm 24 if age is a matter of import.

Either way, your ice skating group sounds fun. You should post any events you organize to the forum so casual onlookers like myself can join when it makes sense.

I heard that Dolder is the largest ice skating ring in Zurich but I haven't been there either personally

Yes there is one in Effretikon! But I still hope we can attract you to skate with us!

I will send an invitation to all the people who showed interest and I hope we are going to find a suitable Saturday or Sunday in January where we all will enjoy it!

Dolder and Heuried have pick up hockey very frequently. As I live by Heuried, I play pick up hockey (called 'Chneble'), thursday nights through sunday nights inclusive. All skill levels, all you need is a stick and skates. (gloves and shin/knee guards are also useful).
