What is a synthetic ice skating rink?
GLICE, a SWISS company, designed a new ecological technology to create a synthetic ice-skating rink; there is no water or electricity needed to produce the ice.
Will I actually be ice skating if there's no ice?
Yes, you will!

GLICE‘s new technology designed an ice-skating rink that allows you to wear real ice skates (with a blade; no toe pick).

Skating aids – in the form of whales – will assist first-time skaters and the little ones to get comfortable on the ice-skating rink. These aids will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.

For those who know how to skate, this ice-skating rink is just like any other frozen pond, lake, or rink you used to skate on growing up.
