Behind the Scenes – Biathlon World Cup
★ 4.6 · 8042 reviewsBy Holmenkollen Skimuseum


In the waxing area, all nations have their waxing trailers, where skis are prepared for competition. This meticulous work is based on science and experience and is absolutely crucial to an athlete’s performance. The difference between perfectly prepared skis and average ones can be the difference between standing on the podium or finishing in the frustrating fourth place. We walk among the national team waxing trailers, where experts prepare skis with precision and passion. Here, you gain insight into the technical work behind top-level results.
You will also visit the Holmenkollen training lab, where athletes carry out their daily training throughout the year. This is where speed, strength, and endurance are developed – and where future champions are shaped.
One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to Bull Superski, where you will see the advanced stone-grinding machine used by professional skiers from around the world. Here, everything is about details, and you will see how skis are optimized for peak performance.
