As the first FIS Nordic World Ski Championships ever, Falun2015 has been certified based on the international ISO 20121 standards for sustainable events. Therefore, climate accounts for the whole event will be set up, including making an electronic Media Guide for all the media representatives. This saves totally 43 200 paper copies, an action with emphasis on sustainability. falun2015.com Media Guide 3

Transportation During the event, the LOC offers transportation between the media hotels in Borlänge, Medal Plaza in Falun and the Main Media Centre at the Lugnet Venue free of charge.

Route information can be found at www.dalatrafik.se Taxi +46 (0)775-50 50 50 Parking LOC strongly recommend media representatives to use the shuttle service provided. This recommendation is based both on the environmental aspect, but also on the limited parking possibilities. The media parking is located right outside the Main Media Centre, and parking permits that have been approved are handed out in the Accreditation Office. There is also a media parking near the Medal Plaza in the city center of Falun. This parking has limited spaces and will be opened between 18:00 00:00 every evening during the competition period. Public Parking If the media parking outside the MMC is full, media representatives also have the opportunity to park at the public parking areas.
