Bergenshallen opened in 1968 at Slettebakken; Bergen kommune took it over in 1980. Nickname: the Badekaret.
Currently out of season Bergen kommune says the opening times for Bergenshallen for autumn/winter 2026/27 are coming soon; its page still shows last season's public hours (Monday-Wednesday and Friday 10.00-14.00, Thursday 10.00-12.00, weekends closed), so no timetable is shown here. Checked on 4 October 2026. Official schedule update
Bergenshallen is an artificial-ice hall at Slettebakken in Årstad, designed by the architect Erik Dogger and opened in 1968. It was privately run at first and was taken over by Bergen kommune in 1980. The site had been Trygve Prestegård's market garden on municipal leased land, and the name Bergenshallen was first borne by a different building, drawn by Karen and Odd Brochmann in 1939 and demolished in 1968-69.
Besides the ice, the hall serves as a fair and event hall, and the ice is laid for about seven months a year, from August to March; its cooling plant was fully rehabilitated before the 2005/2006 season. Locals know it by the nickname «Badekaret». A climbing hall and the weightlifting club Atletklubb Bjørgvin occupy an extension at the south end, and Bergen Ishockeyklubb plays its home games here. In May 1969 Ella Fitzgerald drew about five thousand visitors, and Holiday on Ice visited in the 1970s.
