Fan village and more

The perfect place to get in the mood for the competitions and to round off the World Championships day. Not only thanks to the various catering and refreshment options. Compare yourself to cross-country skiing star Dario Cologna on a tractor? Fly over the Lenzerheide holiday region with VR goggles? Test your marksmanship with laser rifles at the Swiss-Ski and Swiss Shooting Sport Association stands? The Fan Village offers all this and much more. Access to the Fan Village is also granted without a World Championship ticket. The Fan Village is also open on the non-competition days of the World Championships.

The biggest party chalet ever built in Switzerland? Awaiting you at the Biathlon World Championships in Lenzerheide. The Sunrise Fan Chalet covers 900 square meters — as soon as the races are over, it becomes the epicentre of the World Championships party. After the races, there will be live music from the well-known band «ChueLee» (except on Tuesday, February 18). The Sunrise Fan Chalet is open on all nine competition days. 

The perfect place to sit at a table in the middle of the Fan Village, enjoy a fondue and have a good time? The Raiffeisen Chalet! Wood is homely - and that's how this wooden chalet actually feels. Table reservations can be made via markus.rutz@raiffeisen.ch. Spontaneous visits are also possible. The Raiffeisen Chalet is open on all nine days of the competition.

Availability on 22 February 2025:
Few places still available from 1.30 to 2.45 pm
Fully booked after the 2nd competition until 7.30 pm 

Be right in the middle of the Biathlon World Championships - and still not miss any of the Alpine skiing races at the World Championships in Saalbach and the World Cup in Crans-Montana (men) and Sestriere (women). Thanks to public viewing in the Sunrise Fan Chalet, this is possible.
