Skating Fun for the Whole Family
Let’s Hit the Ice!
It’s a crisp, sunny January afternoon, and the frosty air feels fresh on your cheeks. The pale winter sun casts a golden glow over the snowy hills and glistening peaks. Ahead of you is the Brixen ice rink, alive with energy – and you’re ready to jump in and join the fun!
The kids are first to dive in: With ice skates laced tight, they dash onto the ice, their excitement bubbling over as they glide, race, and spin across the shimmering rink. Little Moritz, a newbie to skating, starts off cautiously, clutching his dad’s leg for balance. But within moments, he’s braver, gripping Dad’s hand as he teeters forward. Each wobbly step turns smoother, each glide more confident, until he’s skating solo, tracing loops and playful figure eights, chasing his older sister. She’s a natural, whizzing past with braids flying, already testing out her first twirls and daring moves. The rink buzzes with laughter and the happy chatter of families soaking up the moment. Parents step onto the ice next, some a little rusty but all up for the challenge. A few tentative shuffles quickly become steady strides, and soon they’re laughing like kids again, holding hands as they ice skate side by side. Ice skating has this uncanny way of turning even the most ordinary winter afternoon into something magical.
After an hour or two, tired feet signal it’s time for a break. The relief of swapping snug skates for comfy winter boots is unbeatable. Flushed with cold air and excitement, you head back to the warmth of the hotel. There, a steaming cup of cocoa waits – the perfect way to relive the day’s highlights with your family. But the fun’s not over yet! Next, it’s all about splashing and unwinding: cannonballs in the action-packed youth pool, serenity in the indoor pool, or soaking in the jaw-dropping infinity pool with 360° panoramic mountain views. And for the ultimate cosy finale, nothing beats a session in the family sauna – pure bliss for all ages, guaranteed to leave you feeling recharged and ready for the next adventure.
