Ice skating in Andermatt – winter fun under the open sky with an Alpine panorama
Ice skating is one of the most enjoyable winter activities for families, couples, and those who simply enjoy the finer things in life – and in Andermatt, this experience is particularly enchanting. Just 15 minutes from the Hotel Sternen, there's a charming outdoor ice rink where guests can skate amidst the imposing Alpine scenery. The combination of crisp winter air, mountain panorama, and gentle music creates an atmosphere that can only be experienced in the Swiss Alps.
The ice rink in Andermatt is perfectly prepared and offers ideal conditions for both beginners and experienced skaters. Those without their own skates can rent them on site – a convenient option for anyone wanting to enjoy a spontaneous winter outing. For children, there are skating aids that allow them to learn to skate safely and playfully.
What makes ice skating in Andermatt so special is its location: the ice rink is right in the village, surrounded by traditional houses and the impressive mountain massif. As you glide across the ice, your gaze is drawn to snow-covered peaks and the Urseren Valley – a panorama that makes every winter day unforgettable. In the evenings, when the lights bathe the ice in warm light, an almost fairytale atmosphere is created that also delights adults.
The ice rink is also a popular meeting place for families and groups. Children skate their first laps, while adults relax or watch the action from the sidelines. Ice skating is also a particularly lovely experience for couples – romantic, active, and full of winter charm.
Those needing a break after ice skating will find cozy cafés and restaurants in Andermatt offering hot drinks or light snacks. Upon returning to the Hotel Sternen, guests can enjoy soothing tranquility, a hearty meal in the restaurant, and a warm atmosphere – especially welcome after an active winter day.
