Where to skate in Luxembourg, with opening hours and prices

If you’re coming to Luxembourg between autumn and spring with children, or just fancy something other than museums, ice skating is well catered for. The main rink doesn’t wait for Christmas either. It opens in mid-September and keeps going into April, which is handy if your half-term trip lands in October or February. Here’s where to skate, what it costs and which rink I’d pick depending on where you’re staying.

Kockelscheuer, open seven months a year

The rink is at 42 Route de Bettembourg in Kockelscheuer, on the southern edge of the capital, right by the Roeser boundary. It’s indoors, so rain doesn’t matter, and the 2026-27 public season runs from 15 September to 15 April. The rink itself makes two points that matter for visitors. There’s no booking, and no minimum age.

Prices look fair to me, especially for a country where very little is cheap. Entry is €5 for those aged 18 and over and €4 for younger skaters, paid at machines as you arrive. Skates cost €3.50 to hire, from size 24 to 50, a helmet €2 and a skating aid, the frame beginners hold on to, €5 an hour. If you’ll be back, a book of 10 entries costs €45 or €36 and stays valid until 31 October of the following season.

The tourist office mentions a bistro for a hot drink afterwards, and family afternoons and Disco on Ice sessions at weekends and during the holidays. The skating school runs lessons for children, teenagers and adults. For a first visit, the rink’s own beginner guide asks for gloves, long trousers, a jacket and socks, and the lockers take a €2 coin that you get back. That’s the whole kit list, and I like that nobody is pushing you into a package.

Check the timetable before you go

It opens at midday from Tuesday to Friday and at 10:00 at weekends. On Fridays and Saturdays it stays open until 23:00; on other days it closes between 19:45 and 21:00. Mondays are public sessions only in Luxembourg school holidays. The table above has the detail. There’s no public skating on 1 November, 25 December, 1 January, from 12 to 14 March for the Coupe du Printemps, and on 29 March 2027.

Bus 18 gets you there without a ticket, since free public transport in Luxembourg covers city buses too. If you’re driving a hire car, there are 560 free spaces at the Kockelscheuer park and ride. The same leisure area has a golf practice centre and tennis courts, and the Kockelscheuer ponds are close by.

Is the Ice Park in Beaufort worth the trip?

The Ice Park is at 87 Grand-Rue in Beaufort, in the Mullerthal, and bills itself as Luxembourg’s most traditional rink, under a tented roof. It hires out skates and lends penguin aids so younger children don’t fall on their first lap. As well as public skating, the Beaufort Knights play their home ice hockey matches here. The ice karting on its website didn’t run in the 2025-26 season. Schools and groups can book mornings from Tuesday to Friday.

The catch is the calendar. The last published season ran from 8 November 2025 to 1 March 2026, with adults at €7.50, students €6.50, children up to 14 at €4.50 and skate hire at €4.50. On 30 September 2026 there were still no dates for 2026-27. I wouldn’t build a holiday on that rink alone, though if you’re in the Mullerthal in winter, pair it with Beaufort’s two castles in the same village.

The Christmas rink in the park

The third option exists only for a few weeks. The tourist office says the Kinnekswiss, the big lawn in the municipal park in Luxembourg, hosts a Christmas market with an ice rink during Winterlights. Winterlights 2026 runs from 20 November to 3 January 2027, but on 30 September 2026 no times or prices had been published for this year’s rink. The rest of the festive programme is in Luxembourg Christmas market.

My pick

Heading to the capital between September and April, go to Kockelscheuer. It’s cheap, it’s indoors and the bus is free. If your dates fall during Winterlights, the park rink has the charm of skating in the centre. Save Beaufort for a Mullerthal break. For everything else in the colder months, from museums to weather and winter tyres, see Luxembourg in winter.
