Planning and implementation in record time

After record snowfalls in the winter of 2021, the ice stadium in Sterzing collapsed under the weight of the snow on 10th February. No one was injured and it quickly became clear that a new solution was needed. REALICE delivered the turnkey solution in record time.

In the same year as the collapse of the ice stadium, Sterzing now has a new ice sports facility for athletes and the public. In less than four months, the South Tyrolean company Intercom Dr. Leitner – together with its business unit REALICE – planned and built a turnkey solution: a new airdome with innovative ice technology.

With the investigations still ongoing at the time of the project start, it was very quickly decided that Intercom Dr. Leitner, with its many years of experience in the field of ice rinks, was the right partner for this challenge. The main requirements were to ensure the shortest possible ­implementation time, profound planning competence and long-term project experience. In the end, REALICE built one of the most modern airdomes in the entire region, which today again offers space for more than 700 fans, hosts hockey championships and training sessions, and is an ­attraction for the skating-loving public.
