Ice skating in Lunz am See

When certain temperatures are reached, the Lunzer See lake freezes over and becomes a wonderful natural ice rink, which is not only useable for skates, but also on cross-country skis.

Ice skating and knowing that you are among the resting lake – that’s a special experience. With a suitable ice cover, the lake invites you to conjure a few skating steps on the huge natural ice surface.
