Patinoire Brown-Ferrand, Ice rink in La Blâche district, Gap, France
Patinoire Brown-Ferrand is an indoor ice rink in Gap that serves as a venue for winter sports competitions and events. The facility can hold around 1,800 spectators and includes modern locker rooms, concession areas, and up-to-date lighting systems throughout.
The rink opened in 1955 and took its name from two local hockey players, Roger Brown and John Ferrand. Since its founding, it has been a central venue for winter sports in the region.
The venue hosts the Rapaces de Gap hockey team, a squad that represents the city in France's top-tier professional league and draws crowds during home matches.
The venue is easily accessible with good seating and modern facilities for visitors. You will find clean restrooms, food and drink stands, and ample parking nearby for convenience.
The building uses a clever heat recovery system where warmth from ice cooling powers heating in other areas. This energy-saving approach quietly reduces waste while keeping operations running smoothly.
