High-Tech Ice for Olympic Figure Skating and Short Track
The Milano Ice Skating Arena in Assago serves as the technical center for precision and aesthetics at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. Thanks to specialized refrigeration technology, the arena guarantees a precisely adjusted ice structure that supports both the softer surface required for safe jumps in figure skating and the extreme purity needed for high-speed short track.
On the permanent ice surface, precise water treatment combined with state-of-the-art insulation ensures maximum temperature stability under continuous Olympic-level use. With the ICEmaster® system, the ice quality for these contrasting disciplines is monitored and controlled in real time around the clock.
Ice surface: 1,800 m² | Length: 60 m | Width: 30 m | Ice control: real-time monitoring with ICEmaster® | Safety: ImpactPro® dasher board system
