Facts about the venue
Holmenkollen National Ski arena is one of Norway's most visited tourist attractions.
Since 1892 the arena has hosted competitions in Nordic skiing. In 2011 the FIS World
Championships Nordic took place in the venue, and in February 2016 Holmenkollen was
the host for the IBU World Championships Biathlon.

The entire ski jump and arena was rebuilt before the FIS World Championships Nordic in
2011. The ski jump was designed by the Danish firm JDS Architects. Their design brings
together all the amenities contained in the jump: rather than having a series of dispersed
pavilions, everything from the judge's booths and the Royal family to the souvenir shop
and the entrance to the museum are contained in one holistic diagram.
The jump is made out of 1000 tons of steel and raises about 60 meters in the air. The
top is cut horizontally to accommodate a viewing platform with a panoramic view of Oslo
and surrounding areas.

Norja ja Holmenkollen ovat legendaarisia paikkoja maastohiihtäjille. Monet heistä uneksivat 50 km hiihdon voitosta juuri siellä. Joidenkin mielestä se on juuri se kuninkuusmatka.

Holmenkollenin hiihtoareena on Norjan suosituimpia turistinähtävyyksiä. Siellä on kilpailtu vuodesta 1892 asti hiihdossa. Vuonna 2011 areenalla järjestettiin maailmanmestaruuskilpailut ja 2016 ampumahiihdoon MM-kilpailut.
