The excellent cross-country trails
at and around the stadium are suitable for both adults and children. The
5-km-long lighted trail is popular all winter, and is lit up until 22.00hrs
every evening. The Birkebeineren Ski Stadium is the ideal starting point
for trips into the local mountains, and is connected to a 450-km long trail
of cross-country tracks. The facility has an excellent area for young children
to play on skis – a ski playground! Special cross-country and biathlon
championships can be organized in either the Olympic tracks or the floodlit
tracks. Skispor
Summer
During the summer, the stadium and trails are open to the general public
for rambling, jogging, off-road bicycling, ball sports, etc. The trails
are well levelled and the top cover consists of earth/grass. An asphalted
roller-ski trail has been built and may be used for training and competitions.
The large open areas are ideal for events such as outdoor concerts. Skistadion

Biathlon
The Birkebeineren Ski Stadium has a complete year-round biathlon facility.
Here you can organize a “biathlon” championship with or without
skis. The competition takes place on a limited area of the biathlon stadium,
with teams, relay exchanges and even penalty rounds. Everyone is able to
shoot 5 rounds at the Olympic targets, and the excitement is in the rapidly
changing positions of the various teams. This is an activity unlike any
other, and the biathlon championships have been a great success. The biathlon
stadium has 30 targets and a professional sound system. Skiskyting
