Arrival & Entry to the Rink

For entry to the rink, please use the secondary entrance, located approximately 50 metres further than the main entrance, on the corner of the complex.

From there, signs will guide you towards the changing rooms, office, payment area, and clothing area.

As this is a new location for many participants, please make sure to arrive with enough time to find your way, get changed, and be fully ready for the first training session.

Arrival & Triage – Day 1

On the first day, the opening technique session begins with a triage. Our coaches will assess all skaters and confirm group placements for the week.

Please make sure every skater comes to the office on the first day to receive their welcome gifts.

We strongly recommend labelling all belongings. Please do not leave valuables overnight, as there are no individual lockers.

L’Art du Patinage – Peak Ice Gala

This summer, we are preparing something very special for 19 July and 9 August.

L’Art du Patinage is a new gala concept created by Benoît Richaud, bringing together some of the world’s top skaters for a unique artistic experience on the ice.

We warmly invite our Peak Ice families to join us for this special event and experience a different side of figure skating: creative, emotional, and deeply connected to the art of movement.
