Valais's first artificial ice rink, opened in 1955
The Forum d'Octodure opened in 1955. The idea of the first artificial ice rink in Valais was put forward in the summer of 1955, and the rink was inaugurated on 3 and 4 December that year with two matches, one lost 10 to 7 against Servette HC. The architect Raymond Métral planned a 60 by 30 metre playing surface cooled by a 21 kilometre ammonia circuit.
In 1981 the municipal authorities decided to give the rink a roof, which was built in 1982, and it became a covered rink. Today it is the home arena of Valais-Chablais HC and is used mainly for ice hockey.
The city describes it as a covered venue that hosts free skating, training and matches, figure-skating lessons and curling practice.
