Information on travel by public transport for people with reduced mobility can be found here at the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), at the Contact Center Handicap. The Contact Center Handicap provides information about barrier-free travel on public transport and coordinates free boarding and alighting assistance for people with reduced mobility: at stations and stops in Switzerland and on international rail services.

For people with disabilities traveling to the Biathlon World Championships by car, parking spaces are available on Brienzerstrasse (VIP parking). There is a shuttle service from there to the World Championships stadium. Register early at ticket@biathlon-lenzerheide.ch.

Dogs must stay outside - for safety reasons, they are not allowed in the stadium and track area. The main reason for this is possible sensitive reactions to shooting noise. Only guide dogs and service dogs are permitted.

You can find the detailed access regulations here.

Children under the age of 12 accompanied by their parents do not pay admission to the Biathlon World Championships. Children under the age of 12 can purchase 0-franc tickets in the ticket store. However, children under the age of 12 will also be admitted without a ticket at the access control (subject to ID and age checks).

Admission to the stadium (access to the stands) is granted three hours before the start of the competition. The box office and the Fan Village will be open earlier. The detailed opening times will be communicated at a later date.

The stadium and the stands are also accessible on non-competition days (free admission) so that athletes can watch their training. The Fan Village is also accessible and in operation on non-competition days. However, the offer is reduced.

Yes, admission to the Fan Village is free and is also granted without a ticket.

Yes, if you have a grandstand ticket, you not only have access to the corresponding grandstand sector, but also to the spectator areas along the track. (Those with a track ticket, on the other hand, do not have access to the grandstand).

In the three chalets in the Fan Village and at all other cash desks and stands operated by the WM-OC, payment can be made with major debit and credit cards, Twint and cash. The WM-OC recommends that external stand operators accept the same means of payment.

The VIP tent generally opens three hours before the start of the competition and closes one hour after the end of the competition. These times also apply to the stadium and other public areas along the course.

VIP catering will be provided by the GAMMA Group.

• Welcome and hosting: Gian Gilli
• Responsible for table allocation: Lara Parpan and her team

The car park on Brienzerstrasse (Voia da Brianzauls) is available for VIP guests. The VIP ticket must be presented as a parking ticket. VIP shuttle vehicles run regularly from the Voia da Brianzauls VIP car park to the stadium. 

How did the striking steep ramp get its name? In a cloak-and-dagger operation. When the Roland Arena was already the venue for the Tour de Ski in the Cross-Country World Cup, a volunteer always claimed that without the Baselgias, none of this would exist. This promptly prompted someone to install a wooden plaque with the words «Baselgia Hill» on this section of the route on their own initiative.
The local Baselgia family has indeed shaped the development of cross-country skiing and biathlon in Lantsch/Lenz for decades. Whether it was the founding of the cross-country skiing club Bual Lantsch (1971), the start of the Biathlon Arena Lenzerheide project (2006) or now the World Championships - the Baselgias have always been at the forefront as driving forces. With Silvio Baselgia, the Head of Sport of the BMW IBU World Championships Biathlon Lenzerheide and former Managing Director of the Roland Arena, the third Baselgia generation is already involved.

The fact that not just a biathlon facility has been created in Lantsch/Lenz, but a sports venue that meets the highest standards and is now even the venue for the World Championships, is largely thanks to Michael and Carola Hartweg. The sports-loving couple have made huge investments - the Roland Arena is practically their baby.
Their passion for the sport of biathlon in general and its development in Switzerland in particular is immeasurable. To this day, the Hartweg couple are also personally involved - for example with their Foundation Mission Biathlon or in the Biathlon Training Center Eastern Switzerland (BSO), whose founder and president is Carola Hartweg. Niklas Hartweg, the son of Michael and Carola, has made it from the BSO to the top of the world. When he fights his way up the longest and hardest climb at the home World Championships, this «pièce de résistance» will bear his family name.

The name Gasparin also stands for an entire family, three sisters to be precise, who have helped shape the sport of biathlon in Switzerland. First and foremost Selina Gasparin, the eldest of the trio. She is not only regarded as a Swiss biathlon pioneer, but has also achieved historic milestones: her first two World Cup victories and the only Swiss medal at a major event to date (Olympic silver in the individual event in 2014).

Elisa and Aita Gasparin have followed the same career path, and the Gasparin sisters were together in the World Cup team for years until Selina's retirement after the 2022 Olympic winter. In the relay team with Lena Häcki-Gross, they celebrated several World Cup podiums. In 2016, the Gasparins moved from the Engadin to Lantsch/Lenz in order to benefit as much as possible from the expanded infrastructure. In February 2025, the trio will experience the World Championships on their doorstep - Elisa and Aita as active athletes, Selina as World Championship ambassador, who has also remained professionally involved in biathlon as head coach for young talent at Swiss-Ski.

«Gasparin Dream» not only stands for dreams that come true - but also for persistence, overcoming resistance and overcoming limits. Which a career path demands just as much as this section of the course.
