The Holmenkollen Ski Jump and arena is being rebuilt and upgraded to host the 2011 Championships.

The new Holmenkollen Ski Jump, designed by JDS Architects, will be a large hill with k-point 120 meters and jumps over 140 meters are expected. The new tower will consist of two floors. At the top of the tower there will be an outdoor viewing platform and the floor beneath will feature a new bar.

In addition to upgrading the Holmenkollen Ski Jump, a new normal hill (k-point 95) will be built in Midtstuen, along with five smaller recruitment hills. The ski trails and stadium is being rebuilt and improved as well.

The Holmenkollen Ski Jump and arena will reopen in April 2010.

Holmenkollen

Visit Norway's most popular tourist attraction, and host of the annual FIS World Cup ski competitions.

4000 years of ski history and a beautiful view of Oslo and the surrounding fjord and forest. Experience flying 100 meters in the world famous ski jumping hill inside the ski-simulator, two souvenir shops, and fresh baked pastries in the cafeteria

The forerunner of the Holmenkollen ski jump ("Holmenkollbakken") was built in 1892, and in the intervening years many thrilling and keenly fought competitions have taken place in this traditional and world-renowned arena

Holmenkollen is not merely a sports venue; it is also a tourist magnet of note. Drawing as it does well in excess of one million visitors annually, the jump is one of Norway’s most popular attractions. The starting platform at the top of the tower affords a breathtaking view of the wooded expanse of Nordmarka, a paradise for ramblers and skiers, the capital, Oslo and the islands of the fjord that bears its name.

Blasted out of the bedrock beside the jump is the Ski Museum. The world’s oldest museum devoted to skis and the history of skiing with its exciting exhibitions. It is owned and administered by ’Skiforeningen’ (The Association for the Promotion of Skiing).

At Holmenkollen there is a simulator in which visitors may experience for themselves the heart-stopping thrills of ski jumping and downhill racing.
