Holmenkollen is a great destinastion for both tourists and locals.

They are a lot of great hotells near by and only 25minuttes with the underground train for Oslo Downtown.

Here are some facts about Holmenkollen:

Holmenkollbakken is a jumping hill located in Holmenkollen in Oslo. The hill is a landmark in Oslo, Norway's most visited tourist attraction [1] [2], and is probably the world's most famous ski jump. With history dating back to 1892, it is also one of the world's oldest ski slopes still in use. [3] After the last rebuilding, Holmenkollbakken K-punkt has 120 meters and a slope of 134 meters. It was used during the Olympics in 1952 and the World Cup in 1930, 1966, 1982 and 2011. The ground is also used annually in the World Cup in special jump and combined. The Bakkerechord is 141 meters, set by Andreas Kofler (Austria) on 5 March 2011. Anders Jacobsen jumped 142.5 meters during the NM high hill 8th of February 2011. The Holmenkollbakken has been rebuilt 19 times, the last time in front of the World Cup in 2011, at the last rebuilding the budget broke 4400 percent (the price was initially estimated at around 40 million, but ended at 1.8 billion.). Today's Holmenkollbakke is designed by the Belgian-Danish architectural firm JDS Architects. The hill is owned by the municipality of Oslo. After the last rebuilding it is supposed that the ground will be equipped with plastic mats, so that it can also be used in the summer months, including for the Sommer Grand Prix. However, in the fall of 2011, no money had yet been allocated to this, and the ski federation leader, Clas Brede Bråthen, said that the plastic could be ready for use in 2013.

THE HISTORY OF HOLMENKOLLEN:

The first time there was a jump race in the then Kristiania was on the Iversløkken at St. Hanshaugen in 1866. Two years later, Sondre Norheim from Morgedal participated in the rink of Iversløkken and impressed the spectators with his technique, partly because of the heels he used . Some winters with little snow caused the ski run to be moved to Bærum from 1875. On 13 February 1879, the first Husebyrenn was arranged in Husebybakken (Kastellbakken) at the farm Søndre Huseby in the then Aker herred. The housekeeping was organized annually, except for 1880 and 1882, consisting mainly of combined and cross-country skiing. Nevertheless, the program varied somewhat from year to year - in 1884 only ski runs and in 1887 only cross-country skiing, and some years ago it was also a feature of what we would call slalom and downhill today. [5] Snow debris in 1889, 1890 and 1891 made it difficult to hold the Husebyren as planned, in 1890 it had to be moved to Frognerseteren. From 1892, the Skiforeningen Husebyrenn moved permanently to Holmenkollen.
