The Vienna Ice Dream opened on Thursday at Rathausplatz. The ice rinks can be skied from 10 am As usual, winter fun can’t run its course in Corona times.

Each visitor who enters the area receives a “distance marker”. Hanging from his neck, an alarm sounds as soon as he approaches a person outside the house within two meters.

Corona-Piepserl should provide distance

The palm-sized white device turns on, vibrates and beeps as soon as the minimum distance is not observed. Families or people living together can register as a group so that the distance marker is not constantly on the alert. This also applies to school classes.

The distance marker should not only help maintain distance, but also to trace contacts, should a positive case arise. Because all the encounters with strangers that last longer than seven and a half minutes are automatically saved. Since you must give your name and phone number at the entrance, contact can be made if the need arises.

Strict number of visitors to the Vienna Ice Dream

Aside from the Corona-Piepserl (you have to deposit a stake of ten euros for this), there is also a stricter visitor limit for this year’s Ice Dream. Instead of 2,400, this time only 1,200 people will be admitted at the same time. There is also no gastronomy this season. On the site, except on the ice itself, it is mandatory to wear a mask.

The Vienna Ice Dream is open until February 28. Due to Corona regulations, ice skating is initially only possible until 7 pm Depending on the infection and legal situation, a later extension is possible until 9 pm.
