Tips & Advice
- Arrive a little before a full even hour, because each 90-minute skating session on the rink starts on the even hour.
- Reserve ahead if you want a spot in the Almhütte or the Eisbar, since both take reservations, and so does the skating rink.
- You don't need to bring your own skates, because pairs can be rented on site for each skating session for an extra fee.
- Check the holiday schedule before you go, because skating hours are shorter on Christmas Eve, 25 and 26 December, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
- For a longer evening in the Winterdorf, come before Christmas, since the village closes an hour earlier every day after Christmas.
