Ice Skating - A Winter Fairy Tale on Ice
Ice skating has a long tradition in Davos. In the past, the natural ice rink in Davos was the largest in Europe, covering 18,000 square meters. Today, the "Eistraum" (Ice Dream), Switzerland's largest mobile artificial ice rink with 4,500 square meters of ice surface, has been captivating both locals and visitors since its opening in 2016.
The Eistraum at the Davos sports stadium invites young and old to linger. Whether it's leisurely ice skating, curling, hockey games, or acrobatics - everything is possible. The central ice hockey area is surrounded by an ice rink that meets the official dimensions of an ISU training track, making the Eistraum also attractive for speed skating. The track is reserved exclusively for speed skaters two hours before regular opening hours.
In addition, special events such as ice discos and ice skating courses for beginners and advanced skaters take place at the Eistraum. The enchanting lighting and festive music create a magical atmosphere that makes every visit a special experience. The surrounding cafes and snack stands offer warm drinks and snacks, allowing visitors to warm up and refresh themselves.
Ice Hockey - Passion and Tradition
Ice hockey, alongside football, is one of Switzerland's most popular sports, and in Davos, ice hockey is omnipresent. This is mainly thanks to the Hockey Club Davos (HCD), the Swiss record champion, which proudly wears Davos' blue and yellow colors in the country's hockey arenas. In winter, Davos becomes a mecca for ice hockey fans, especially during HCD's home games.
A winter highlight is the international Spengler Cup, held annually between Christmas and New Year in Davos. This prestigious tournament attracts hockey enthusiasts from around the world and creates an incomparable atmosphere in the city.
The best part: The stadium is only a few minutes' walk from the Hotel Dischma Davos. This allows you to experience the exciting games up close without having to travel far. After the game, a visit to the numerous restaurants and bars is ideal for rounding off the evening in a convivial atmosphere.
There are also plenty of opportunities for children and teenagers to try their hand at ice hockey. HCD offers youth training sessions and camps where young talents can improve their skills and live the dream of becoming professional ice hockey players.
Conclusion
Davos offers an unparalleled experience for both ice skating and ice hockey fans. The combination of tradition and modern facilities creates the perfect environment for all winter sports enthusiasts. Whether you're actively skating on the ice yourself or cheering on the exciting games of HCD, Davos is the perfect place for all ice sports enthusiasts
