Destination Anterselva

A quiet Alpine town - and the centre of the biathlon

Nestled in the impressive mountain scenery of the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park, the Antholz Valley stretches all the way to Lake Antholz and the majestic peaks along the Austrian border. Small villages, unspoilt landscapes and a spectacular Alpine setting shape the valley and make Antholz a truly special place – in winter as well as in summer.

At the far end of the valley, at around 1,600 metres above sea level, beats the sporting heart of Antholz. Here, snow-covered winter landscapes, the blue-green waters of Lake Antholz and a decades-long passion for winter sports come together.

What began more than 50 years ago with a great vision and a pioneering spirit has made Antholz famous far beyond the borders of South Tyrol. Here, biathlon has long been more than just a sport – it is part of the valley, its people and its history. Driven by passion and the commitment of an entire community, Antholz has grown into one of the world’s most renowned and traditional biathlon destinations.

World Cups and World Championships have written countless chapters of sporting history here. The Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games added another unforgettable chapter: the world’s best biathletes competed for Olympic medals in Antholz, turning the Antholz Valley into a stage for international winter sport.

But Antholz is about much more than major sporting events. On the cross-country trails running through the valley and around the biathlon stadium, skiers can leave their own tracks in the snow-covered landscape and head towards the spectacular mountains at the end of the valley. Winter hiking, snowshoeing and peaceful spots away from the crowds reveal another side of Antholz: authentic, close to nature and wonderfully relaxing.

Antholz is biathlon. Antholz is cross-country skiing. Antholz is nature. And above all: a valley you simply have to experience for yourself.
