A 2001 metropolitan rink drawing 400,000 visits a year

Polesud opened in October 2001 and is run by Grenoble Alpes Métropole. It has two ice sheets, a 1,500 square metre fun rink and a 1,800 square metre sports rink, with room for 2,100 skaters and 4,208 spectators, 3,500 of them seated. The rink says it is one of the busiest in France, with 400,000 people a year, and that more than three million users and spectators have come through its doors since it opened.

Its size lets it host skating shows such as Holiday on Ice and Stars sur glace and official competitions including the Internationaux de patinage artistique. It is the training and competition home of the Grenoble hockey team Les Brûleurs de Loups, multiple French champions.

Three clubs train on the ice. Brûleurs de Loups Hockey Mineur takes players from age 3 up to recreational and senior women's teams, Grenoble Isère Métropole Patinage teaches figure skating from age 3, and the Club de Glace de l'Amicale Laïque d'Échirolles teaches skating and then speed skating from age 4.
