Outdoor Ice Rinks
Get your skates on for a triple-toe-loop with a view. Skating is romance and glamour and rosy-cheeked snowtime exercise without the whole skiing holiday. Make a skating session part of your itinerary for these ultimate ice-destinations and it will be an indelible holiday memory. And don't forget to dress for the occasion - this is the one time when a chunky snowflake-patterned sweater looks right. Note to the gents: nothing impresses so much as a masterful skater, and nothing disappoints so much as a wobbly Lothario. A sneaky lesson with the pro beforehand will give you the edge.
