Östersund Ski Stadium
Östersunds skidstadion
Sweden's national biathlon centre, which often hosts World Cup events, where locals can cross-country ski on lit trails.
The stadium sits on a hillside northeast of the city and is Sweden's national training base for biathlon (cross-country skiing combined with shooting). It has hosted several World Cup events and the 2019 World Championships, and races are lively. On regular days, dozens of kilometres of lit cross-country trails are open free of charge, and equipment can be rented nearby. In summer the trails become running and mountain-biking routes. The nearby Aktura tower overlooks the whole venue. Race tickets must be bought in advance.
