history
After the previous hill no longer met the size requirements, the construction of a 90-meter hill was started in 1960. After several renovations, the facility developed into a competition site that many spectators visited. The small hills were added in the 1960s and 70s. The ski jump was the first venue for the ski jumping championships in 1968 , as well as in 1983, 1990, 1993 and 1997. The extensions in 1980 were followed by the extension to today's K 106 in 1999. As a result, several Continental Cups have been held on the large hill since In 2000 the Snowflake Ski Jumping Tournament is held annually . The smaller hills are mainly used for training young athletes.
On February 10, 2008, the Norwegian Fredrik Bjerkeengen jumped 130.0 m in the FIS Cup and thus equalized the record set by Primož Roglič (125.5 m) in the COC .
