When the lakes in South Tyrol freeze over in winter, they often become great spots for ice skating, and some are even maintained for safe skating. However, always make sure the ice is thick enough and safe to skate on—it’s a good idea to ask locals for advice. Alternatively, there are outdoor rinks or indoor ice halls, where you can rent skates for a small fee.
