New location: skating rink Küsnacht

We are very happy about the new partnership with the commune of Küsnacht (ZH). In keeping with the 15th anniversary of TORTOUR, we will also be bringing a breath of fresh air to the concept with a new location. For this purpose, the Kunsteisbahn Küsnacht (KEK) optimally covers the needs of TORTOUR.

Thanks to the generous event area and the numerous rooms, we will be able to cover any needs of the participants, teams, spectators, and organizers at the KEK. In the ice rink, we can also bring the desired community feeling to live, create a great atmosphere, and offer participants a unique experience. Not only will the participants pass through the rink after each lap and take the atmosphere with them, but especially after the race they will be appropriately welcomed in the rink.
