"Switzerland's Lake Joux, nestled in the Jura Mountains near the country's western border with France and an hour's train ride from Lausanne, is the largest free skating rink in all of Europe when it freezes over in winter. On weekends, vendors set up stalls on the surface of the lake itself, selling hot food and drink to hungry skaters." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Ice Skating and Insane Beauty Situated on the border with France in the Vaud Jura, Lac de Joux is one of the biggest natural ice rinks in Europe. Thousands flock there when the lake freezes over, and the misty evening air and mountains create a dreamlike scene reminiscent of a Roman Polanski movie."
