What’s new · 14th edition

You already know it.
But you’ve never lived it like this.

A new home, new dimensions, new light. Here’s what’s changing this year.

01

New location: Baia Sardinia

MelideICE moves to Baia Sardinia, on the Melide peninsula: ice, the lake and the lights of the mountains all around.

02

Ice trail

60 × 3 m

An ice trail with wooden railings: from the rink you skate all the way around the decorated area.

03

The new rink

22.5 × 12.5 m

More intimate, and now linked to the new ice trail: skate between the rink and the lights of the park.

04

Transparent dome

Ø 13 m

A large transparent dome that lights up in the evening.

05

New sound and lighting system

Completely renewed music and lighting, so you can enjoy the rink after sunset too.

06

Decorated inner area

At the centre of the trail, a space with Christmas decorations to admire from every side as you skate around it.

07

Three food trucks

3

Three food trucks lined up behind the dome, for a warm break between laps.
