Ice skating on frozen lakes
Outdoors
Known as Little Siberia, with a record low temperature of -45° C, the Vallée de Joux (which is 1 hour north of Geneva, in Jura) is definitely the coldest part of Switzerland. When the thermometer drops as low as it can go, the local ponds and lakes freeze very quickly — even the large Lac de Joux (9.5 km2), which becomes the country’s largest natural skating rink! It’s a great reason to get out your skates to take on the safe skating areas in Le Pont, L’Abbaye, the Rocheray, or even try out the smaller lakes of Brenet and Ter. Skates can even be rented from the Mouquin shoe store, located at Grand-Rue 39 in Le Sentier.
