20 years of biathlon in Schalke - but unlike in Scandinavia or the Alps, the top athletes conquer the slopes in Gelsenkirchen in one of Europe's largest conurbations. But where does the snow come from that is prepared in the middle of the VELTINS-Arena and in front of it?
Schalke TV was a guest at Alpenpark Neuss, the official snow supplier for the bett1.de Biathlon World Team Challenge. There, the focus is on sustainable winter fun - through innovative production with environmentally friendly energy.
An issue that has become increasingly important in two decades of winter sports in the Ruhr region. For this reason, FC Schalke 04 has been positively counteracting the effects of transportation with a climate contribution since last year. Together with Landschaftsagentur Plus, the squires have implemented a project under the motto "GEmeinsam GEgenwirken" ("Working together to counteract") and are thus making a targeted investment in increasing the performance of ecosystems.
