Get ready for a true Munich winter highlight! Because the synthetic ice rinks at the Prinzregentenstadion were almost fully booked last year, Munich’s public swimming pools are expanding their offerings. Starting Monday, November 9, you can also take to the ice at the brand-new Dante Winter Warm Outdoor Pool. The Warmfreibad had most recently opened a new open-air ice-skating rink in October as a limited-time promotion. Both locations each offer two synthetic curling rinks. This makes them perfect for outings with friends or family, as well as for company parties or your upcoming Christmas party.
Ice Skating, Sauna, and Curling: How to Get the Most Out of Your Outing
No matter which location you choose: The rules and facilities are identical, though one location stays open a little longer in the evenings. At the Prinzregentenstadion, curling stones roll daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., while at the Dante, you can even play daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. On Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, both venues are open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; on New Year’s Day, from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., the rate at both venues is 55 euros per hour per lane; after 2 p.m., it’s 75 euros. The rental fee already includes eight curling stones and a target (daube) for use. Of course, you’re also welcome to bring your own equipment. Bookings for multiple hours are also easily arranged.
In addition to curling, the Prinzregentenstadion is also particularly popular for ice skating and offers the option to learn ice dancing for free on Sundays. At the Dante Winter Warm Outdoor Pool, you can also combine your outing with a swim or a visit to the sauna. Please note, however, that the rink rental fee does not include admission for ice skating at the Prinzregentenstadion or for swimming or the sauna at the Dante Winter Warm Outdoor Pool. You can find more information about the two curling rinks on the Stadtwerke München website.
In addition to these two locations, curling is also offered at the Königlicher Hirschgarten, on the Nockherberg, at the Alte Utting, on the frozen Nymphenburg Palace Canal, or at the “Frau im Mond” near the Deutsches Museum. So the selection is huge, and fun is practically guaranteed!
