Sustainability isn’t an add-on ...

How does NextGen Winter Sports put sustainability into practice?

Through projects that turn responsibility into action.

Sustainability means living responsibility – in decisions, innovation, and everyday work. FIS, IBU, and DSV collaborate with partners to drive real change.

Climate & Energy

Training centers in Oberhof and Oberstdorf use solar and renewable power with modern heating systems. At World Cups, mobile pellet heating replaces diesel, significantly reducing emissions.

Resource Efficiency & Snow

Snow farming, snow-depth tracking, and optimized snowmaking ensure reliable competition conditions while minimizing energy and water use.

Biodiversity & Nature

Construction in sensitive alpine zones includes ecological monitoring, habitat restoration, and visitor guidance to protect flora and fauna.

Mobility & Community

Public transport integration, shuttle systems, and barrier-free access are standard. Volunteers, youth projects, and inclusion initiatives strengthen community and shared experience.
