Transportation

The safest option for travelling is to use your own transport. However, if needed, the organiser offers free transportation, too.

Broadcasters and media can book transportation

• from the airport/train station to the media hotel AND
• between the media hotels and the stadium (app. 20 minutes) by filling the requests
• at https://ibu.mattersoft.fi/ibu/kontiolahti#/info or
• by email at transportation@kontiolahtibiathlon.com

Note! The transport service is based only on requests in advance. We kindly ask you to leave the requests at the latest one day before the requested transportation.
