Kontiolahti, Finland: Ticket sales open – holiday packages available later in September

The Biathlon World Cup stage in Finland will take place in March 2026. The competition week, running from Thursday to Sunday, features six races: individual, mass start, and relays.

Ticket sales open on September 10, 2025, at 12:00 via the Lippu.fi online ticket shop.

Holiday packages will be launched later in September. The packages are provided by Elämysmatkat, the event’s official travel partner, which also serves as the official reseller of Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic travel packages in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Ireland.

Package travelers will stay at Koli, one of Finland’s most famous and beloved landscapes, located 40 minutes from the biathlon stadium.

“Early March is traditionally the best winter season in North Karelia. With the holiday packages, we can offer not only the excitement of sports but also other experiences – both for international visitors and domestic travelers,” says Jari Auranen, Chief Technology Officer of Elämys Group.
