The Alpenpark Neuss is a leisure park on the outskirts of the city of Neuss in North Rhine-Westphalia .
The amusement park's ski hall, which opened in 2001, was the first such facility in Germany. It is visited by more than 1 million people annually. In addition to the winter sports facilities, the Alpenpark includes a. various restaurants , a hotel , a climbing park, alpine golf and a fun football course.
The hall with the associated systems is operated by Allrounder from Neuss . The name sponsor of the ski hall was the Jever brewery from 2004 to 2018 ; previously the ski hall was officially called Jever Fun Skihalle Neuss .
location
The hall is located on the southwestern edge of the city of Neuss on the former site of the Neuss- Grefrath landfill . The site belongs to the Grefrath district of Neuss. Immediately to the south of the hall runs the A46 , which meets the A57 a little further east at the Neuss-West motorway junction . On the opposite side of the A46, which forms the border district here is wood home with the living quarters Löveling and Kreitz and the convent Kreitz . To the east of the hall are the Westpark and the Novesia allotment garden colony .
history
In 1998 the entrepreneurs Johannes Janz and August Pollen, who ran the Allrounder agency for winter sports trips and events in Mönchengladbach , came up with the plan to build a ski hall in the Rhine-Ruhr conurbation. After a suitable location was found in Neuss and the financing was secured with the entry of the Vibro-Beteiligungsgesellschaft, construction began in 2000. The execution was carried out by a consortium from Dywidag and Heilith + Woerner Bau AG . The steel construction was subcontracted to Donges Stahlbau from Darmstadt.
The building site posed a particular challenge for the planning and construction : Since the upper part of the hall was built on the landfill body of a relatively young, former household waste dump, considerable subsidence was to be expected. This had to be taken into account with a flexible steel construction on stilts and precise monitoring of the movements.
After a construction period of 9 months, the hall was completed in early 2001. When it opened on January 3, 2001, the ski hall in Neuss followed a competing project, the Alpincenter Bottrop , which was built almost at the same time, a few days earlier and thus became Germany's first ski hall.
Starting in 2007, consideration was given to expanding the hall with a cross-country skiing route. However, these plans have not yet been implemented.
In 2011 an extension with a smaller side slope was added, and in the same year the conference and sports hotel Fire & Ice was opened.
In spring 2009 the climbing park “SalzburgerLand” Neuss and a climbing wall were added as a further attraction at the ski hall .
There has been an archery range since summer 2014. The alpine golf course was opened in spring 2015. In the summer of 2017, the attractions were supplemented by a fun football facility.
Equipment and activities
The highest point of the ski slope in the hall is 110 meters above sea level, the main slope is 300 meters long and up to 60 meters wide. The slope of the slope is up to 28% in the upper area. In addition to the main slope, there is a smaller, 100 meter long and up to 40 meter wide side slope for beginners and children as well as two toboggan runs. The hall has a four- person chair lift , two drag lifts and four treadmills with a total capacity of up to 5000 people per hour. Twelve snow cannons installed under the hall ceiling sprinkle the slopes with artificial snow at night .
In addition to skiing and tobogganing, which runs all year round, the in-house ski school offers ski and snowboard courses for beginners. In the hall's gastronomy there are regular parties (often in the “ après-ski ” style) and other supporting programs. A shop in the entrance area offers sports equipment for sale. The hotel has rooms for meetings, seminars, etc. Outside there is a high ropes course and a climbing wall, an archery range and an alpine golf course. According to Allrounder , the climbing park is one of the largest free-standing high ropes courses in Germany and the climbing wall is one of the highest artificial outdoor climbing facilities in Europe.
Allrounder was co-organizer of the FIS World Cup for cross-country skiers in Düsseldorf , which was held until 2011/2012, and delivered 3000–4000 m³ of snow from the ski hall for the preparation of the route.
