Program Biathlon

Here is the program for Biathlon during Barents Winter Games 2025 in Alta.

The program is subject to change and will be updated continuously.

Dear participants, coaches, team leaders, and volunteers,

Welcome to Alta!

This year, we are excited to host three sports simultaneously—biathlon, cross-country skiing, and ski orienteering—at Kaiskuru, Alta. We have designed a program that accommodates all three disciplines to ensure a seamless experience for everyone.

For ski preparation, we have several waxing facilities available at Kaiskuru to meet your needs:

  • Waxing Cabin: 4 single waxing stations and 2 double waxing stations.

  • Trailer: 2 single waxing stations.

  • Garage: 2 double waxing stations.

There will also be space available at the venue for storing your equipment from Saturday to Sunday.

Would you like to ski to and from the venue? You can find the Alta municipality trail map here:

We look forward to welcoming you all to Alta and Barents Winter Games 2025!

With sporting greetings, Skialliansen and Alta Orienteringslag
