Ice Skating at Richard Bozon Chamonix
Bottom line: The R. Bozon ice rink is a covered Olympic-size rink in Chamonix, suitable for families, friends and rest-day skating sessions.
Chamonix Tourism lists the rink as a covered 60 x 30 m Olympic rink, open in summer and winter periods. It is part of the Richard Bozon Sports Centre, close to central Chamonix.
What to expect
Public skating is a straightforward indoor activity that works well when the weather is poor or when you want a break from skiing. Skate hire is available, and local listings also reference hockey and curling heritage in Chamonix.
The rink can be lively during school holidays and bad-weather periods, so check the public session timetable before you go. Cash desk and evacuation times may be earlier than closing time, so allow enough margin.
