The year -round opening is not only important for local athletes, but also attracts top international athletes. The Estonian European champion Niina Petrokina is already training with her choreographer Mark Pillay in Zell am See and has big plans. In addition to the ice rink, the ice rink also offers fitness rooms, an indoor pool, a sauna and a cryo cold cabin that offer the athletes optimal conditions for their preparation.
