NORDIC and Biathlon EXPERIENCE
What’s the closest thing to skiing you can do in London? Would you call me crazy if I told you there is a buzzing Nordic ski community right here in London.
Still don’t believe me? Well at the London Snow Show you’ll be able to meet the people behind the poles. Step into a whole new side of the mountain. Whether you’re a dedicated downhiller or totally new to the snow, this is your chance to understand the magic of cross-country skiing and learn about roller skiing.
If you think skiing and shooting don’t mix – think again! Biathlon is the ultimate test of precision under pressure and now, you can step into the boots of a pro right here at the London Snow Show.
Whether you’re a sharpshooter in the making or just up for a bit of friendly competition, this is your chance to experience the thrill of the range. Raise your heart rate, steady your aim, and see if you’ve got what it takes to hit the mark.
From Olympic and Paralympic inspiration to family fun, the Biathlon Experience is where adrenaline meets accuracy.
