A major sport in Switzerland, hockey is an integral part of the “Helvétique”
culture. With more than 100 years of history on the banks of the lake “Léman”,
this sport has become unavoidable in Geneva. The Genava-Servette Hockey club,
which grows at the heart of the Swiss elite of hockey, is the city’s club.
It plays more than 25 meetings, at home during the course of a season
(September to April). Of course, during the 60 minute meeting, all eyes
are turned towards the ice, in order to follow the evolution of some of
the best hockey players in the world. Nevertheless, no need to be an expert
to appreciate the meeting. This fast-paced game where physical contact is
always present, impresses by it’s intensity and captivates the attention
of everyone. However, at the Vernets “patinoire” (rink), you will participate in more than a game of hockey. Before, during and after the meeting, the Geneva-Servette Hockey Club offers a multitude of entertainment and services, with the one objective of ensuring that you spend an enjoyable evening and that you keep a fond memory of your visit to the rink. You will find below, some of the services which are made available on match evenings at the Vernets rink. |

Unavoidable in Geneva, he is the emblem of the club and every evening of
the game, he makes his entrance before the hostilities commence.
His silhouette emerges from the darkness to proudly sit on the central
circle, before going back into the stands of the Vernets.
A unique spectacle in Switzerland.
