Biathlon Embraces Smart Snow Solutions as SIEPPUR Project Reaches Finish Line

As the effects of climate change become increasingly evident in winter sports, the biathlon world has taken a proactive approach to safeguard its future. The Sustainable Snow Summit 2025, held in Innsbruck on 7 May, marked the official conclusion of the 30-month SIEPPUR Sustainable Snow Management project. Backed by the EU’s Erasmus+ programme, SIEPPUR set out to redefine how snow is managed across biathlon venues, with the aim of making the sport more sustainable, resilient, and adaptive.
