 Holmenkollen ski jump tower by Bernd_L Although the sporting events take place in winter, this arena is open year round. From the top of the jump tower you have a fantastic view over Oslo, the fjord and the numerous islands. A museum gives information about the tower, the development of skiing and arctic explorations, honours some Olympic champions and is also home to an art gallery. If you want to have the feeling like a ski jumper you can visit a jump simulator. Leave a Comment Phone: +47 22923200Directions: Take subway #1 station "Holmenkollen"

The Holmenkollen ski jump is one of Oslo's most popular sporting destinations and also a major tourist attraction in itself. Inside the complex is a ski musuem and the site on a hilltop over the city offers fantastic views of the city Leave a Comment

 It it probably easier in the snow! by Emmjai The must see spot of Oslo, about 30 mins by road or train, is the ski jump. Don't worry if you are not that interested in ski-ing, the view of the Oslo Fjord alone is worth the trip, (though perhaps the view isn't always as good as it was the day I was there). The ski-jump simulator is fun.. so I am told! Leave a Comment

This is the famous Holmenkollen Ski Jump facility. This is not only nice place to visit for the sports event, but also for the nature around here, the mountain, the forest. It is located just at the outskirt of the city and you can get here by the local metro system. Leave a Comment

 here we go.....here we go...gerionimo.. by sourbugger Oslo is somewhat lacking is striking images compared to other European capitals, but the Ski jump seems to fit the bill for this Scandanavian city. Competitions have been held here for over a hundred years. The length of the jump has steadily been extended over the years. From what I could work out it has even doubled since the jump featured in the 1952 olympic games. Entry to the area includes a visit to a ski museum, and of course an ascent to the top of the jump from which there are amazing views of the city set in it's own fjord. You have to climb the last 100 steps or so right to the very top, and only when they are not practicing. I presume that part of the training for this sport involves a full-frontal lobotomy. How anybody with any operating brain cells can launch themselves off one of these things is beyond me. Eddie the Eagle ? more like Eddie the complete nutter. Leave a Comment Address: on metro line 1Directions: The jump is about a 10-minute walk uphill from the metro station
