1936 Winter Olympics

At the 1936 Winter Olympics, the venue hosted the ski jumping event and the ski jumping part of the Nordic combined event. The outrun of the ski jump formed the ski stadium which held the opening and closing ceremonies and the start / finish area of the cross-country skiing competitions.

Four Hills Tournament

A world cup competition is held there every year on January 1, as a part of the Four Hills Tournament.

History

The first ski jumping hill on the site of the current facility was built in 1921. It was demolished in 1933 to build the Olympic ski jumping hill for the 1936 Winter Olympics. It opened on 5 February 1934. Over the years, the ski jumping hill was expanded four times (in 1950, 1978, 1996 and 2007). Due to a required upgrade of the jump to the advanced technical standards of the International Ski Federation (FIS), the construction of an entirely new ski jump was inevitable. Among projects by Zaha Hadid Architects, Behnisch Architects and others, an international architectural competition in autumn 2006 led to the decision to erect a cantilevering structure as the new landmark of ski sports, designed by terrain:loenhart&mayr. Construction at the site started on April, 26th 2007. The grand opening ceremony at the Continental Cup / Four Hills Tournament was on New Year's Day 2008. The tower offers a panoramic view of the surrounding valley of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Adjacent to the ski jumps is the Gudiberg alpine slalom piste, upgraded prior to the 2011 World Championships.

The current hill record is held by Michael Hayböck who jumped 145 m during the annual New Year's Ski Jump on 1 January 2025.
