SKI365 arena to offer races and workshops

September 22, 2023  /  10:13 AM

Winters lately with no snow and skiers with no place left for their sport? What about indoors? If you think it is impossible, the SKI365 arena at the Life! festival will make you change your mind.

Hall F will be transformed into a large ski track. Cross-country skiers, biathletes, snowboarders and ski alpinists will enjoy their sports. In addition to the 200-meter test track, you will also find a 30-meter slope. Equipment will be available for hire on site; lecturers and instructors will also be there for you.

Those who feel strong enough can compete with biathlete Ondřej Moravec. If you plan to take your first steps on ski or snowboard this winter, then book a place at the workshop. Everyone can then buy equipment for the winter at bargain prices.


Interesting lectures and panel discussions are waiting for you. You will learn more about the preparation – of the body as well as the ski resorts, you will hear about the experiences of ski schools, service centres and rental firms.

We also have the first ski mountaineering races with David Novák and Jakub Fabián prepared for you.

Do not hesitate and book a place at one of the workshops
