NEW HOLMENKOLLBAKKEN

INVITATION

In 2006 the International Ski Federation (FIS) awarded the World Ski Championships, Nordic disciplines, to Oslo on the condition that a new and modern ski jump is built. Holmenkollbakken (Holmenkollen ski jump) is one of the capital’s and indeed the country’s greatest symbols, even though the ski jump has undergone constant alterations over the last 110 years. The new ski jump should be a place where the most spectacular of ski sporting events will be practiced into the forseeable future.The slope should be one of Oslo’s main tourist destinations where tourists from near and far can experience sporting excellence and wonder at the courage of those who tackle the downhill jump. Holmenkollen should also be a place for sporting and cultural summer activities. Architects from all corners of the world are invited to také part in this important task for Oslo city and Norway’s national sport.
