St. Anton at the Arlberg is a household name for anyone on one or two boards - be it because of the legendary après-ski or the breathtaking pistes.

The manufacturer Blackroll, the rolls royce among fascia rolls, has now also launched a neck cushion on the market. Sleep is immensely important for our regeneration and our well-being is also heavily dependent on our sleep. For this reason, it is worth taking a closer look at the pillow.
