Four days of Biathlon World Cup racing, 14 to 17 January 2027, at the Anterselva stadium at 1,600 metres: individual, relays and mass start, for men and women. Course day tickets from 26 euro.
The Anterselva biathlon stadium, the Olympic Arena Südtirol Alto Adige, sits at the head of the Anterselva valley at 1,600 metres: according to the organising committee it is the highest venue on the IBU World Cup circuit. The grandstand holds about 15,000 people. The seated areas and standing grandstand L are permanent, while grandstand M is put up for the race. With a course ticket you watch from beside the track, around the Huber Alm.
In 2027 the World Cup comes back to the valley after the 2026 Winter Olympics, over four days and three disciplines. On Thursday 14 at 14:15 the men race the 20 km individual, and on Friday 15 at the same time the women race the 15 km: every miss on the range costs a one-minute penalty. Saturday 16 has the single mixed relay at 11:45 and the mixed relay at 14:30. Sunday 17 closes with the mass starts, the men at 12:45, with the top 30 setting off together, and the women at 15:00.
There is music every day too. In the stadium DJ Alex plays on Thursday, Sax Martl on Friday, BÄÄM&Bumm on Saturday and Saso Avsenik and his Oberkrainer on Sunday; in the spectators' marquee it is Karussell on Thursday, Die Jung Puschtra on Friday and the Juchee Quintett at the weekend.
