The Antholz Valley has a storied history within the sport of biathlon. In 1971, the region hosted its first international biathlon competition, followed by its first Biathlon World Championships in 1975. It has hosted five more world championships since then. Every year, Antholz hosts the IBU Biathlon World Cup in January, making the 60 kilometres of tracks familiar to many of the athletes competing at Milano Cortina 2026.

Tesero is a town in the central area of Val di Fiemme–one of the main valleys of the Dolomites. Tesero was the first location in the Southern Alps to ever host a FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, which it did in 1991. Val di Fiemme is now a fixture on the Tour de Ski each January during the FIS Cross-Country World Cup season. The Tesero Cross-Country Skiing Stadium will host cross-country skiing and Nordic combined events at Milano Cortina 2026. 

The site has 19 kilometres of groomed trails and is located 830m above sea level. The forests alongside the cross-country trails are protected and managed by the Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme, an organization that originated in the Middle Ages and that continues to care for the natural beauty of the valley.
