Holmenkollen National Ski Arena

Holmenkollen is a state-of-the-art arena for cross-country skiing, biathlon and ski jumping, and includes the famous Holmenkollen Ski Jump, Midtstubakken Ski Jump, five smaller recruitment slopes, cross-country skiing trails and a ski stadium.

The ski jumps and arena were completely rebuilt for the 2011 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, and hosts annual World Cup events in ski jumping, cross-country skiing, Nordic combined and biathlon.

Holmenkollen is one of Norway's most visited tourist attractions, and includes a jump tower, souvenir shop and ski simulator.
The viewing platform at the top of the tower is open to the public and offers panoramic views of Oslo and the surrounding forests.

About the Holmenkollen Ski Jump
Holmenkollen was first used for ski jumping in the late 1800s and has been rebuilt several times. The current ski jump was constructed by the Danish firm JDS Architects. The jump is made out of 1,000 tonnes of steel and raises about 60 metres in the air.
