"Asia’s Only Open-Air Ice Skating Rink"
Ice Skating, Shimla Overview
The Shimla Ice Skating Rink is the only naturally formed ice rink in South Asia, drawing skaters from around the country. It only operates when temperatures are cold enough to sustain natural ice, typically from December to February, so it's worth checking conditions before planning a visit. Skates can be rented on-site.
The rink has been used for sports and recreational activities since 1920. The Ice Skating Club of Shimla maintains and enthusiastically host national level competitions and the annual carnival.
Global warming and an increase in urbanisation are said to be causing a decrease in the events as it affects the ice formation in this naturally formed ice skating rink. The number of events arranged here is dependent on the weather and the ice conditions, but the popularity of the rink is unmatched. The experience of indulging in a sport at the foothills of the Himalayas is a breathtaking one.
Must Know Before You Visit Ice Skating
Note : 1. Wear warm and appropriate clothing while skating.
2. Skates can be rented on the payment of a small amount.
