Moments of joy: Celebrations continue across the Biathlon family

High in the South Tyrolean Alps at 1,600 meters above sea level lies Antholz—an idyllic mountain village that pulses each winter with the rhythm of biathlon. Home to the legendary Südtirol Arena Alto Adige, it’s a place where world-class competition meets breathtaking scenery. Every January, this quiet valley transforms into a global celebration of sport, as tens of thousands of fans gather to witness the world’s best biathletes in action. Now, the spotlight grows even brighter: in 2026, Antholz will open its gates to the Olympic Games, hosting the biathlon competitions for the very first time. This is more than a race—this is Antholz.
