Since October 2013, the Östersund ski stadium, which had been expanded to international standards twenty years earlier, has been declared Sweden's national biathlon arena. The facility hosts biathlon world cup competitions every year, usually in conjunction with the season opener at the end of November. The 1970, 2008 and 2019 biathlon world championships were held here. The arena is also a popular venue for sled dog races, such as the WSA Sprint World Championships in February 2025. The ski area has 89 kilometers of groomed slopes, 29 kilometers of which are illuminated. Since 2007, there has been a snow guarantee from November 1st. This is made possible by the municipality storing large amounts of snow covered with sawdust in the summer.

Certainly awesome in winter. Interesting in the summer as well, we were able to watch shooting training and roller cross-country training.

This is a MUST for any biathlon fan who happens to be in Sweden. The biathlon stadium in Östersund, which is also Sweden's national biathlon arena. It lies at the foot of the resplendent Arctura Water Tower. Östersund traditionally hosts the opening weekend of the IBU World Cup season. This modern, compact stadium and the arctura on the edge of the pine forest shine far beyond the city during the evening competitions. In the summer, of course, you also train here and with a bit of luck you might meet one or the other well-known athlete. Hiking sticks or mountain bike trails are signposted. Definitely worth it.
