Four shooting galleries allow biathlon enthusiasts to train with small calibre weapons and air guns.
If you decide to visit the ski hall on a whim, the integrated sports shop has the full kit for hire or available to buy. Alternatively, if you are bringing your own kit, you can have your skis grinded and waxed here.
