Ice skating day

Skate for Free and Discover Ice Sports!

Enjoy a free day of skating at the Vaudoise Aréna, just minutes from Lausanne!
All three ice rinks – the Main Arena, the Cooly (indoor rink), and the Yodli (outdoor rink) – will be open to celebrate the start of the winter season.

Exceptionally, the main Arena will be open to the public — a rare opportunity to skate (and dance!) on the legendary ice usually reserved for LHC hockey games and major events.

Whether you come with family, friends, or solo, glide into the fun and discover a variety of ice sports in a warm, friendly atmosphere during the Ice Day celebration.

On the program

Free skating on all three rinks throughout the day
Introductory lessons in short track, figure skating, synchronized skating, and broomball
Shows and demonstrations by the Lausanne Malley Skating Club and the Swiss Broomball Association
Disco on Ice from 5 PM to 7 PM in the main Arena: music, lights, and a festive vibe to end the day in style
Gourmet Chalets on the esplanade next to the outdoor rink
And many more fun activities all day long!
