Звёздный, Ice sports arena in Orenburg, Russia

Zvezdny is an ice palace in Orenburg with 2,500 seats, home arena of the Sarmaty hockey team. The building is divided into three blocks: a public block with lobby, buffets, toilets and cloakroom; the ice arena with stands; and a training block. It also houses a gym, a hotel and a cafe-bar.

The ice palace was built in about eighteen months and officially opened on 25 November 2007. It became the home arena of the Sarmaty hockey club, and its second team, the Belye Tigry, plays in the Youth Hockey League.

Hockey matches and figure skating performances happen regularly here, drawing spectators from across the region. The venue serves as a gathering place where locals come to watch their athletes and celebrate winter sports.

The facility offers regular public skating sessions and equipment rentals for visitors. It is helpful to check opening times in advance, as availability varies depending on training schedules and scheduled events.

The advanced climate control system keeps the ice in perfect condition even during hot Orenburg summers when temperatures exceed 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). This technology allows skating to continue uninterrupted throughout the year.
