Biathlon in Summer
Biathlon Arena Lenzerheide
Taster sessions & group events
Experience the «fascination of biathlon» - the mixture of concentration and precision when shooting, as well as the stamina and power required for cross-country skiing makes biathlon a challenge for body and mind. After an introduction to shooting with small calibre rifles, you can raise your pulse while running or biking and afterwards attempt to hit the target whilst shooting. In summer you can challenge your stamina by bike, on roller skis or simply on foot. During the fun competition, the rifles always remain at the firing range.
The Lenzerheide Biathlon Arena offers various taster sessions, or can organise an event for you and your colleagues, team mates or friends.

Children Biathlon trial courses - in the footsteps of the Gasparins ....
Children beware: In the Biathlon Arena Lenzerheide, a super exciting afternoon programme awaits you. Together we immerse ourselves in the fascination of biathlon. All children between the ages of 10-15 years are allowed to practice the sport with air rifles. Instead of the cross-country skis, we lace up the sneakers and run a round in the arena. This gives us a feeling for the exciting combination of strength, endurance and precision. We look forward to your participation. And who knows ... maybe you will meet the Gasparin sisters or other professional biathletes and can get you some training tips.

Rollerski track
In summer, the area around the Biathlon Arena Lenzerheide offers an ideal training opportunity for everyone who wants to prepare for the cross-country skiing season early on. The challenging 1.6 km long rollerski track is perfectly integrated into the landscape and leads from the shooting range up to the St. Cassian Chapel and back to the Biathlon Arena. The course is single and double-tracked and has a height of around 25 metres.
If you don't have your own rollerski equipment, you can rent it on site and just like in winter, you also need a pass for the rollerski track. This can be purchased directly on site.

The World Cup compliant fully automatic shooting range commands 30 stands with a 50 metre shooting range. During the winter, there are seven snow-covered cross-country skiing runs between 1.5 and 4 kilometres as well as a 150 metre long penalty loop available for use.
