Ice Skating in Trondheim
When in Doubt, Skate it Out
From November until the end of February several of Trondheim’s outdoor spaces are transformed into ice skating rinks!
Popular Ice Hockey & Skating Rinks in Trondheim
SOLSIDEN:
In the middle of an old shipyard, next to a modern shopping center, and amidst cafes and restaurants you find the skating rink at Solsiden. From about November to April the old dock becomes a natural meeting place for some winter fun for families, couples and friends.
FINALEBANEN:
Centrally located at Øya, near St. Olavs Hospital, the basketball court is converted into an ice rink during the winter months. The rink is lit up at night so grab your skates and enjoy some quality time on the ice after dark. There is no rental facility at Finalebanen so bring your own skates.
ILAPARKEN:
The soccer field in the Ila park is turned into an ice rink when the weather allows during winter. The rink is lit up until 10 pm, but remember to bring your own skates, as there are no rental facilities nearby.
ROSENBORG BALLPLASS:
Close to the city fortress, Kristiansten, at Rosenborg skole, the basketball court is converted into an ice rink during the winter months. Make sure to bring your own skates! Otherwise you’ll have to watch the winter fun from the sidelines.

Bymarka Lakes
HAUKVATNET, MYRA/KYVATNET & THEISENDAMMEN:
For a long time the lakes of Bymarka have been a great source of joy for the skating enthusiasts of Trondheim in the wintertime. The ice is maintained and prepped regularly throughout the season by the voluntary organization Blyberget Frileik. As this is natural ice, please make sure to check that the ice is safe before venturing out and take precautions.
