Ice skating can only be done on a flat surface with a thick layer of ice. Thin ice can be dangerous since the skating shoes and body weight can break it, causing fatal accidents. A well known ice skating rink in Himachal Pradesh is in Shimla. It is the largest naturally formed open air ice skating rink in India.

Located at the Sports Complex at Circular Road, Lakkar Bazaar in Shimla, the ice skating rink is the hub of winter entertainment for locals and tourists. Numerous festivals, parties, skating and dance competitions are held at the rink. You must visit it during the annual sports event and winter carnival held every year during the holiday season.

The Shimla Ice Skating Rink also has a school that teaches the sport. Whether you are an expert or amateur, you can hire ice skates from here at nominal rates and enjoy gliding on ice with the cool wind blowing across your face. The experience is wonderful!
