Built in 1975 along the banks of the Ilfis River, this compact arena packs 6,050 passionate fans into what feels like a pressure cooker of hockey energy.

Every check against the boards reverberates through the stands, and you can practically feel the spray of ice when players make their sharp stops.
The SCL Tigers call this arena home, and watching a game here offers something increasingly rare in modern sports: an authentic, community-focused experience without the corporate gloss of newer mega-arenas.

If you're planning a visit, embrace the cozy atmosphere and arrive early to soak in the pre-game buzz. The proximity to the Ilfis River that gave the arena its original name also makes for a pleasant pre or post-game stroll through this charming Swiss valley town.
