Tips & Advice
- Bring gloves before you head for the ice, because wearing gloves on the rink is required and you won't be allowed to skate without them.
- Get the day pass if you want to take breaks at the chalets, since a regular skate session ends as soon as you leave the rink.
- Carry cash or a Bancontact card, because those are the payment options for skating, and you don't need to reserve ahead.
- Leave your own food, drinks, glass and cans at home, because the house rules don't allow you to bring them into the Winterdorp.
- Plan your skating around the clock, since the rink and food stalls close an hour before the rest of the Winterdorp shuts each night.
