Ice Skating in Gulmarg & Sonamarg

Season: WINTER (December – February) (weather dependent)

Overview

Ice skating in Jammu & Kashmir is a winter-season activity that has grown recently with formal facilities and organised events. Ice skating in the region takes place on designated rinks supported by local authorities and associations, primarily in Gulmarg and Sonamarg.

Gulmarg Ice Skating

  • Indoor Ice Skating Rink: Gulmarg has an established indoor ice skating rink near the Gondola base that operates during winter months (typically January–February) when conditions allow. This is the primary venue for skating in the resort area.

Sonamarg Ice Skating

  • Ice Skating Rink at Sonamarg: In recent years, Sonamarg has introduced ice skating facilities and organised winter skating camps with support from the local development authority and winter sports associations.

Important Notes:

  • Ice skating availability is strictly seasonal and weather-dependent. Operations occur only when ice rinks are confirmed functional.

  • Both Gulmarg and Sonamarg skating opportunities are formal, organised facilities or events supported by tourism and sports authorities.

  • Safety conditions and rink operation schedules can vary year to year depending on snowfall and temperature.
