Holmenkollen Ski Jump

Holmenkollen will have a unique permanent windscreen solution, which will protect the athletes from up to 50 per cent of the winds. The windscreen is about 10 meters high and is woven from high quality steel

Two lifts will bring the athletes up to the start house. One chair lift from the bottom of the Ski Jump and then a cabin lift following the inrun up to the start house.

30.000 Spectators

The spectator stands consist of seats for 20 000 spectators and 10 000 more will be able to fit on terrain based stands.

A new judges’ tower and royal grand stand are situated on the sides of the Ski jump.

The inrun and related elements such as the judges’ tower and royal grand stand were built as an integrated construction as proposed by JDS Architects in the design contest. This means that the windscreen solution will follow the entire inrun from the top down to the royal grand stand and judges’ tower.

Construction work on the new Holmenkollen Ski Jump began early December 2008 after the old inrun was demolished that same autumn.
