Natural ice rink in Brienz – skating fun for the whole family

Your blades glide across the ice and your warm breath forms clouds in the cold air. Skate a few laps at the natural ice rink in Brienz, then warm up with a hot drink and replenish your energy with a snack at the Forsthaus before once more taking to the ice.

In winter, when the temperature drops to zero, the area at the top of Lake Brienz (next to the Forsthaus) is transformed into a natural ice rink. In fine weather, the rink opens from December to the end of February. Skating aids are available for kids who may still be a little unsteady on the ice. The back of the rink is available for ice hockey games and curling is offered to groups on request. Parking can be found next to the Forsthaus. The “Brienz, im Brunnen” PostBus stop is 250 m away.

Personal tip
“Whenever we’re in Interlaken, a visit to the ice rink is a real highlight for the kids. Afterwards, there’s always the Forsthaus for a tasty Chäsbrätel to recharge your batteries."
