Holmenkollbakken is a large ski jumping hill located at Holmenkollen in Oslo, Norway. It has a hill size of HS134, a construction point of K-120, and a capacity for 70,000 spectators. Holmenkollen has hosted the Holmenkollen Ski Festival since 1892, which since 1980 have been part of the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup and 1983 the FIS Nordic Combined World Cup. It has also hosted the 1952 Winter Olympics and the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in 1930, 1966, 1982 and 2011.
The hill has been rebuilt 19 times; important upgrades include a stone take-off in 1910, an in-run superstructure in 1914, and a new superstructure in 1928. During the Second World War, the venue was used as a military installation, but upgraded in the late 1940s. Further expansions were made ahead of the 1966 and 1982 World Championships, as well as in 1991. Between 2008 and 2010, the entire structure was demolished and rebuilt. The hill record is held by Robert Johansson at 144.0 meters. The hill is part of Holmenkollen National Arena, which in addition to cross-country and biathlon venues has the normal hill Midtstubakken.

Really enjoyed ski fest. Great entertainment for everybody. Watching skiers jump was just amazing, and seeing countries compete in cross country skiing was an awesome experience. Highly recommended! After the event traffic and public transportation was a hot mess.

Great museum. A nice contrast between the history of skiing as a whole, and skiing history within Norway. Incredibly informative, with displays appealing to all age groups. Interactive exhibits appealing to adults and children alike were a lot of fun. Being able to take the elevator ride to the top of the ski jump made the whole experience exponentially better. Great views across Oslo, as one would expect. Highly recommend a visit.

The home of biathlon. Enjoyed the event. Make sure to put warm clothes and to bring something too sit on like mat or whatever. Hot tea is must-have. You can buy hot chocolate and sausages here with cash or card. Norway flags and bells can be purchased here by cash only

Great place and great views from there. Don't need even to climb the Jump if u don't want to spend extra money. Easily reachable by metro line. Some restaurants can be found around. Downhill ski simulator for tourists. Toilets are free of charge. Nice tourist shop!

It was a really cool experience being up there. I really liked the view on top so I do recommend anyone that goes here to buy tickets to the top. One of the best and most beautiful views in Oslo!

Worth the visit. A great view from the top. Informative museum. Easy to reach on public transport which is also quite scenic. A bit of a long uphill walk from the light rail station to the ski park itself but no problem for the average person. Sometime hilarious to watch and hear the brave people taking the zip line from the top.

Impressive ski jump located on a hill right behind Oslo city centre. Beside the ski jump itself, the view from the top is outstanding. From there you can admire the panorama of the Norwegian Fjords as well as Oslo harbour. This place definitely worths a visit!
