Thanks to the skate rentals, guests do not have to worry about anything but having a good time. For those who do not feel the most comfortable on skates, the resort offers ice skating lessons for their guests on the rink.

On top of everything else, the area is surrounded by two stands for food and drinks, as well as a warming station with a cozy fire pit and even an axe-throwing booth on the rink grounds. This helps keeping the ice skaters entertained while they are not on the ice, creating a true winter village feel, even without snow.

Hassle-free and cost saving

The perfect choice was adding a synthetic ice rink, as the Crystal Springs Resort already offers many family-friendly activities. Apart from that, the rink is also a great addition from the employees’ perspective. Glice rinks are considerably low-maintenance ice rinks, as they do not need any water or electricity to be run. Vacuuming them once a day and cleaning them once or twice a week (depending on usage) can be sufficient and much less time-consuming than resurfacing the ice several times a day with a costly Zamboni.

Environmentally friendly

Moreover, Glice is committed to environmental sustainability. For every synthetic ice sheet they produce, Glice goes the extra mile by planting a tree, exemplifying their dedication to reducing their carbon footprint and making the world a greener place. This initiative doesn’t only underscore Glice’s eco-friendly approach but also presents an opportunity for you to contribute to saving the planet while simultaneously providing an outstanding experience for your clients.
