Sustainability isn’t an add-on ...
... it’s the foundation for the future of winter sports.
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.
