Almost like a Professional: Biathlon at the Foot of the Great Arber

 

Magdalena Neuner, Uschi Disl and Michael Greis: the success of German athletes at this discipline has generated interest in biathlon amongst many winter sports enthusiasts. In ArberLand you don’t have to content yourself with just watching. The National Ski Training Centre at the foot of the Great Arber in the Bavarian Forest with its Hohenzollern Stadium offers guests the special experience of trying the biathlon for themselves.

First test your fitness on cross country skis, then, with racing pulse, try to have a steady hand at the shooting stands – it is this contradiction which makes biathlon one of the most difficult sporting disciplines. The drama of the competition is increased because just one poor shot can cost the best skier an apparently certain victory.

The fascination of the biathlon: More and more people stand on the sidelines or sit in front of the TV to watch a World Cup Biathlon competition. And biathletes now almost always dominate the top places in the voting for sportsman and sportswoman of the year.

So more and more people want to try biathlon themselves. The Hohenzollern Ski Stadium at the Arbersee offers one of the few opportunities where not only cross country skiers but also biathletes will find excellent conditions.

Whether on holiday or as a highlight of a day trip, alone or as part of a group – 8 different trail sections and a shooting stand with 30 lanes meet almost every requirement. Suitable not only for professional biathletes but also for ambitious amateurs and curious beginners.

An Event for Staff and Customers
At the Ski Training Centre at the Arber, it is possible to hold a rifle in your hand at any time of year: with expert instruction, everyone have a go and learn how to shoot.

It is also worth considering for companies who want to surprise their employees or customers with a special event.
