L'Anneau de Vitesse, outdoor speed skating venue
L'Anneau de Vitesse is a speed skating venue located in Parc Paul Mistral, built to host ice racing competitions. The facility features a large skating surface with spectator grandstands and support areas for events and training.
The venue was built for the 1968 Winter Olympics when Grenoble hosted the Games. It shaped the development of speed skating culture in the region for decades afterward.
The venue helped establish Grenoble's identity as a winter sports hub. People come here to watch speed skating competitions and experience the city's connection to ice sports tradition.
The venue is located within Parc Paul Mistral and is accessible by car, with parking spaces for people with disabilities. Visitors should check in advance about event schedules and training times when the facility may have restricted access.
The facility uses a specialized ammonia refrigeration system that precisely controls ice temperature for competitions. This technical approach was innovative for its era and helped establish optimal racing conditions that athletes still rely on.
