A new 600 sqm skating rink was opened on Saturday (December 21) in Romania’s mountain resort Sinaia, in Prahova Valley.

Located in the city’s Dimitrie Ghica park, the Arctic Park Sinaia skating rink will stay open daily between 9:00 and 23:00 until March 2, 2014, and is equipped with lighting and sound systems.

An entry ticket can be purchased for RON 15, while renting a pair of skates costs RON 15 for 90 minutes. Sinaia city residents have free access to the rink from Monday to Thursday, between 17:30 and 19:00.

The official opening of the winter season in Sinaia, which was initially scheduled to take place on December 20, was postponed due to the lack of snow. However, winter sports fans can ski on other slopes located in Busteni and Azuga mountain resorts.
