The Tramplin is a category K 90 ski jumping hill in the Russian city of Ufa . The ski jumping facility includes one category K 60, K 40 and K 26. These four ski jumps are in operation today. In addition, a ski jumping hill of category K 120 belongs to the ski jumping facility, but it is not in operation.

Ufa's 90 meter ski jump was built in 1964. In 2003 the 120 meter hill from Ufa was to be built. But only the inrun tower was erected. The construction project then stalled and was put on hold. In 2010 new efforts were made to finish the hill. In addition, the entire ski jumping facility is to be renewed.

Several ski jumpers had serious accidents on the smaller hills in Ufa and that is why the hill was closed to jumping operations at the end of 2012. Only in August 2013 was the hill reopened for competitions after a commission declared the hill to be safe again.

The inrun towers of the K-90-Schanze and the K-120-Schanze have special features. A sports school is located in the inrun tower of the K-90 hill and the inrun tower of the K-120 hill has a futuristic capsule.
