The ice will be ready on November 7th.

But the Alpine Skate Trail will no longer be found at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh for winter 2025 -the Christmas attraction has just announced a new home at Centre Park Road.

With over 75,000 skaters last season, Alpine Skate Trail will be open from November 7th until January 25th at the new location, offering a fun-filled winter experience for families, friends, teams, clubs, schools, and corporate groups alike.

To celebrate this announcement, a limited amount of Early Bird tickets are now on sale for just €15 (the cheapest they’ll be all skate season).

This season, Alpine Skate Trail will revert back to its much-loved layout with gliding twists and turns galore and thrilling straights alongside an Alpine-inspired backdrop of pine trees and twinkling festive lights.

“We listened to our skaters’ feedback from last skate season and we’ve made the decision to bring back the trail in its original layout – a change we know our seasoned skaters will welcome!” said Cian O’Callaghan of Cool Running Events.

“We’ve also prioritised the likes of free parking on-site to ensure easy and affordable access for everyone. We can’t wait to welcome our skaters back on the ice, November can’t come quick enough!”

Experienced skaters can head straight for the trail, while those less experienced can practice on the designated smaller rink, where penguin skate aids are available to help find their skating feet.
