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.

The town hall, designed by the architect Frans Bertil, was completed in 1912. In 1986, Östersund celebrated its 200th anniversary and to mark the anniversary, a carillon was introduced in the tower, which plays three times a day.

The Old Church. Work began in 1834, when the townspeople took over the foundation work themselves, as the townspeople were obliged to build the church. The church was put into use in 1839, but was not consecrated until 1846

Construction probably began in the late 12th century. A 13th-century shrine is located in the niche in the chancel. On the north side of the chancel is the communion cabinet, where the consecrated communion bread is kept; a red prayer lamp marks the presence of Christ. Two medieval saints, the Virgin Mary to the north and the patron saint of Olof the Saint to the south, indicate the church's importance as a pilgrimage church. A fire in 1898 destroyed the 17th-century decorative wall paintings. The church was rebuilt after the fire, but it was not until 1930 that the interior of the church acquired the appearance it has today.

Next to it there is a room for pilgrims with water and toilet.

ÖFBH, which operates Östersund Marina, is an association responsible for port operations in Östersund and Frösön marinas. Its aim is to promote and coordinate boating in Östersund and the surrounding area, and to promote good safety on the lake, an intact environment, education, good camaraderie and seamanship.

The Gamla Kyrkan is located in the center of Östersund. It was built between 1834 and 1839 and was inaugurated on New Year's Day 1846. The church stands out in a special way thanks to its light wooden frame and yellow-painted exterior walls.
