Heuried ice rink 2026/27: opening hours, parking, drop-in hockey and 7 free days

The underground car park tariff is not on the rink's page but in the City of Zurich's fee regulations (GebO SBA, official collection 421.160, annex 1). For a space at the Heuried sports centre:

For an afternoon on the ice, the car is the cheap option; only a whole day gets expensive. The entrance is at Wasserschöpfi 71, 8055 Zurich.

Without a car: tram 9 (Triemli – Hirzenbach) and tram 14 (Triemli – Zürich HB) stop at «Zürich, Heuried», about 150 metres from the entrance. In summer this is the Heuried lido, at the same address.

The Kombi6 saves only CHF 1.33 per visit. If you come two or three times a month, the sports pass is better; if you use two free days, single tickets often work out cheaper. A family of two adults and two children with four pairs of hire skates pays CHF 48.

If your own blades are blunt and you want to skate today, hire: immediate and cheaper. Small children get a free helmet against a deposit, and the «Rutscherli», a skating aid for the youngest, costs CHF 3 plus deposit. At the Dolder, hire costs CHF 8.

«Chneble» is Zurich dialect for drop-in hockey, no club, no registration. Outside these slots, hockey is not allowed during public skating:

• Tuesday · 6.15 pm–7.30 pm · whole outdoor rink
• Friday · 8 pm–10 pm · whole outdoor rink
• Sunday · 6 pm–7.45 pm · in the indoor hall

The Dolder publishes its slots in an occupancy plan rather than as fixed weekly times (checked 3 Nov). You can hire a hockey stick at Heuried.

With small children this is the best time: no puck, no fast skaters, room for the kids. From age 6, children pay CHF 4. Helmets and Rutscherli are at the hire desk, and the hall is open even when it rains.

Architects Hans Litz and Fritz Schwarz built the centre in 1964, one of the city's first leisure facilities to combine swimming in summer and skating in winter. The city calls it its oldest sports and leisure facility. From 2015 to 2017 the ice hall was rebuilt, for around CHF 81.4 million together with the renovation of the lido (excluding the car park). According to the city, a single-circuit refrigeration plant with directly evaporating CO₂ was used here for ice production for the first time anywhere in the world, and its heat warms the whole site (City building office, press release 28.9.2017).

Kunsteisbahn Oerlikon (Oerlikon only, not Heuried): As of 3 November 2026 the city reports the outdoor rink closed until further notice (technical fault). On Wednesday 11 November the rink stays closed until about 5 pm (installation work).

The Dolder sits at the forest edge above the city, reached according to its operator by tram 2 or 3 to Römerhof and the Dolderbahn, and is privately run. On Wednesdays from 8 pm the whole ice is closed for training. All three rinks together: ice rinks in the canton of Zurich · all ice rinks.

For Eisstock (Bavarian curling) in Zurich, Heuried is the address with a published tariff; at Oerlikon on request. A company event counts as commercial and pays the outside rate, 10 times what a Zurich city club pays for the same lane. Booking is by the «Eisstockschiessen Heuried» application to the sports office. Less than two weeks ahead: CHF 100 processing fee. Cancelling is free up to eight weeks ahead, costs CHF 100 up to two weeks ahead, then the full amount (ice surface conditions).
