The Einsiedeln ski jumps , formerly the Eschbach Einsiedeln national ski jumping facility , sometimes also referred to as Einsiedlerschanzen , is a ski jumping facility in the Eschbach district of Einsiedeln in the canton of Schwyz . The facility consists of four jumps, the Andreas Küttel-Schanze (formerly AKAD-Schanze ), the Simon Ammann-Schanze (formerly Swisscom-Schanze ), the large KPT-Schanze and the small KPT-Schanze . The names of the two largest jumps are reminiscent of the two Swiss ski jumpers Andreas Küttel and Simon Ammann . The jumps are the most important training center in Switzerland and regular venues for the FIS Summer Grand Prix .
Location
The jumps are located about one kilometer as the crow flies northwest of the center of Einsiedeln , above the Eschbach district. The jump table of the Andreas Küttel -schanze, the largest of the jumps, is located at an altitude of 950 meters above sea level .
description
The Einsiedeln ski jumps currently consist of four jumps, the Andreas Küttel-Schanze (formerly AKAD -schanze, after a sponsor), the Simon Ammann -schanze (formerly Swisscom -schanze) and the large and the small KPT -schanze. The largest of the jumps is the Andreas Küttel-Schanze with a construction point (K) of 105 meters and a hill size (HS) of 117 meters. This makes it the largest plastic covered hill in Switzerland. From the valley to the left of this there is a chair lift that jumpers can take to the top. This is followed by the Simon Ammann-Schanze with a construction point of 70 meters and a hill size of 77 meters. Immediately next to this is the large KPT hill (K45, HS50). From the valley to the right of the Andreas Küttel-Schanze there is free terrain on which a K120 ski jump is to be built later. The small KPT hill with a K-point of 25 meters and HS28 is attached to this area. All jumps have inrun tracks made of ceramic and have mats covered landing slopes so that jumping is possible in summer. The facility is also equipped with snow-making systems. There are changing rooms and showers for the athletes in the floor under the run of the Andreas Küttel-Schanze. The judges tower is seen from the valley to the left of the large KPT ski jump. The HS117 and HS50 are equipped with floodlights , so that jumping is also possible in the evening.
The inrun tower of the Andreas Küttel-Schanze is 44 meters high. There is an elevator and stairs in it. At the top of the tower there is a so-called panorama room that protrudes seven meters towards the valley. The run-up track is anchored to the square tower. It spans 69 meters freely and is inclined at 35 °. A steel elevation up to 15 meters high was built for the landing slope, on which a wooden structure rests. This is necessary to level out the natural slope profile. At the height of the take-off, there is a concrete tower with a platform for the trainers at the top next to the jump.
At Simon Ammann-Schanze, a large part of the inrun runs along the natural slope profile. Only the top third in the area of the starting hatches runs on a concrete structure. On this hill, too, the landing slope was adapted to the required profile with an elevation. As with the HS117, the trainer platform is mounted on a concrete tower next to the take-off table.
The two KPT ski jumps are natural jumps , where both the run-up track and the landing slope have been modeled according to the terrain. Buildings are not required.
In addition to an evaluation room, there is also a VIP area in the judges' tower, and there is a roof terrace on the roof.
use
The ski jumping facility is owned by the operating company Schanzen Einsiedeln AG and is made available by them to both the local ski club, SC Einsiedeln, and the Swiss ski association Swiss-Ski . The user agreement takes into account training courses from the Swiss national ski teams, regional associations and ski clubs. In addition, athletes from foreign teams can use the facility for a fee. The jumps thus form the most important ski jumping training center in Switzerland. In 2008, athletes from 14 nations performed around 1,000 training units over 20,000 jumps.
In order to be able to organize international competitions in addition to training and national competitions on the hills, the HS117 and the HS77 have valid hill profile confirmations from the international ski association FIS . The most important event is the FIS Summer Grand Prix , which has been held annually on the HS117 since 2005 , and competitions for the Ski Jumping Continental Cup , the FIS Cup and the Alpine Cup are also held on the hill. The organizer of this event is the Einsiedeln Sports Event Association. In 2006, 2008 and 2009 the Swiss ski jumping championship also took place on the hills.
The panorama room in the tower of the Andreas Küttel-Schanze can be rented for groups of up to 40 people for various occasions. The judges' tower is used for house running , the landing slope of the HS117 can be used with air-cushion sleds (airboards). Ski jumping is offered to everyone on the small KPT hill .
history
In Einsiedeln, ski jumping has been practiced on the Fryherrenberg since 1912. In the mid-1980s, Werner Küttel, father of Andreas Küttel , and Father Kassian Etter set up a training base called air'sport Einsiedeln for special jumpers and combiners in the vicinity of the monastery school and boarding school in Einsiedeln . Already at this point there was the idea of building a jumping facility with several jumps nearby. Finally a commission was founded in 1994 to plan a new Swiss training center for ski jumping in Einsiedeln. They checked several options until the Eschbach district was finally the location of the new ski jumping hill. As a result, the National Ski Jumping Facility Eschbach Einsiedeln (NaSE) cooperative was founded in 1999 . In 2001, a K20 called a trial jump was built at the planned location, which was torn down three years later. In the summer of 2002 an engineering competition was held in which six engineering offices took part. The planning commission's stipulation was that the new facility should include five jumps with construction points of 25, 45, 70, 105 and 120 meters. The design by the Zurich planning office Henauer Gugler AG and the architects Burkhard & Lüthi prevailed in this competition, with an estimated construction cost of CHF 8.5 million for all five hills. In addition to funds from the National Sports Facilities Concept of the Federal Government (NASAK) and loans, donations should also serve to finance the project . The donation of one million from the estate of an anonymous Englishman caused a stir .
In 2003 the construction of the ski jumping facility began. Initially only the four smaller jumps were built, the K120 planned in the draft is not to follow until later. During the construction work there was a landslide on the landing slope, which led to delays and low additional costs. In addition, the judges' tower had to be modified later, as the view of the jumps was restricted. In 2005 the jumps were finally completed. The construction costs amounted to 14.5 million francs, so the jumps were about six million francs more expensive than estimated. The hills were initially named after sponsors as AKAD -schanze (HS117), Swisscom -schanze (HS77) and as large and small KPT -schanze (HS50 and HS28). For the inauguration, open days were held on the first weekend in July 2005 . In this context, the Einsiedeln ski jumpers Andreas Schuler (HS28), Salome Fuchs (HS50), Adrian Schuler (HS 78) and Andreas Küttel (HS117) carried out the maiden jumps from the hills. Guido Landert already achieved a distance of 120.5 m from the HS117 this weekend. Under competitive conditions, which are a prerequisite for a hill record, this distance was only reached three years later. At the end of July 2005 the first international competitions took place with two Continental Cups on the AKAD hill. The first competition under floodlights on July 23, 2005 was won by Andreas Küttel ahead of the German Michael Neumayer and the Swiss Simon Ammann . On the following day, the Pole Marcin Bachleda won the jumping, followed by the two Swiss Ammann and Michael Möllinger . Three weeks later, a first-class international jumping competition was held on the hill for the first time with a Summer Grand Prix , which the Slovenian Robert Kranjec could win. Since then, the Summer Grand Prix has been held annually on the hill, with the FIS Cup and the Alpine Cup also taking place less regularly .
Due to the increased costs of building the ski jumping hill, the operator cooperative NaSE had financial difficulties from the start. In May 2007, the situation had become so threatening that only a sample taken from the Lottery Fund financial assistance from the canton of Schwyz a bankruptcy could avert the cooperative. Despite a restructuring plan by business lawyer Karl Heinrich Wüthrich and a fundraising campaign supported by Springer Küttel and Ammann, the company could not be stabilized and finally had to file for bankruptcy in September 2007. At the end of May 2008 the ski jump was foreclosed . The bankruptcy office estimated the value of the plant at 5.2 million francs. At the auction, however, it went to the construction company Aufdermaur Söhne AG , which was already one of the main creditors of the former operating cooperative , for only 120,000 francs . After the bankruptcy, the operation on the hill was temporarily managed by Swiss-Ski. On August 1st, 2008, in addition to the annual Grand Prix in special jumping, a summer GP in Nordic Combined took place for the first time , which the Swiss Ronny Heer won. On January 1, 2009, a newly founded operating company, Schanzen Einsiedeln GmbH , took over the operation of the ski jumps. In addition to Aufdermaur Söhne AG , the shares in this are also held by organizations and private individuals interested in ski jumping, including the Einsiedeln Springer Küttel.
On May 12th, 2009 the previous AKAD hill was finally renamed to Andreas Küttel-Schanze , the previous Swisscom hill was given the name Simon Ammann-Schanze .
On May 19, 2019, the voters of the Einsiedeln district rejected a loan for the expansion of the ski jumping hills to winter operation with 70.7%. With this decision, the future of the ski jumps is uncertain.
