The Shimla ice-skating rink has the largest open-air area with naturally frozen ice in this part of the world. Known to be Asia’s oldest open-air rink – the arena offers excellent opportunities for sports lovers to indulge in Ice-skating in Himachal Pradesh.
Ice skating is a sport similar to skiing, the only difference being that in skating instead of swooshing down snow-covered slopes, you glide along a wide skating arena wearing ice-skates. You can skate with a partner or do it alone. But ice-skating is a sport that requires much better balancing prowess than required in ordinary skating.
Ice skating in Himachal Pradesh generally begins in early December, and the season continues till February. Clear skies and low temperatures ensure uninterrupted sessions. Two sessions are held everyday – one in the morning and the other in the evening. Membership for ice-skating in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh is available for the entire season and for shorter terms including even single sessions. Skates are available on hire at the rink itself. If you are proficient enough at ice skating, you can even opt for ice hockey or figure skating, which are equally exciting.
So, if you are planning to visit any hill resort this winter, choose Shimla – the capital of Himachal Pradesh and enjoy some superb ice-skating.
