Winter magic on real natural ice
Ice skating on Europe's largest natural ice rink - Lake Weissensee

Europe's largest prepared natural ice surface
Every winter, Lake Weissensee in Carinthia is transformed into a spectacular ice landscape. With an area of up to 6.5 km² and a layer of ice up to 40 cm thick, it offers ideal conditions for all kinds of ice sports. The ice masters on site ensure that the rinks are well-maintained and extremely safe every day – for guests, locals and professionals alike.
For decades, Lake Weissensee has been a meeting place for ice skaters from all over Europe. Whether it’s an ice skating marathon, curling or leisurely gliding in the sunlight – the natural ice delights generations.
Enjoying nature on runners
Ice skating for all
Lake Weissensee is a place for everyone who loves exercise and nature. The up to 25-kilometre-long circular track invites you to enjoy hours on the ice, where you can enjoy the landscape and fresh winter air to the full. Sporty guests can use the 400-metre rink, while groups can whizz across the ice together playing curling or ice hockey. Beginners and children also feel at home – with child-friendly practice areas and small first steps in a protected environment. The atmosphere on the ice is always special: calm, respectful and full of joie de vivre.
