Your first stop for ice skating is Lake Joux situated in the well-known Lake Geneva region, within the memorable Jura mountain range between France and northwestern Switzerland.  The lake spans an area of almost six square miles.  

There’s also Lake Silvaplana, in Grison.  The ice has to be cleared of the snow prior to anyone skating but there are floodlights here so the skating hours are extended at night.  Around noon strong winds generally kick up near the lake.  While this can discourage some ice skaters, it probably is why kite skiing or snowkiting was invented here.
