About this venue
Lillehammer Ski Jumping Arena is more than a ski jump—it’s a signature landmark above the city, built around dramatic inrun lines, bold structural geometry, and grandstands designed for major competitions. With both a large and a smaller hill, the venue is strongly associated with elite ski jumping and Nordic events, delivering that unmistakable “big day” feeling even when you’re simply visiting.
On site, the experience is defined by open sightlines and a natural amphitheatre layout: the viewing areas feel close to the action, the atmosphere builds quickly, and the scale of the jump makes every descent look spectacular. Visitors appreciate how easy it is to navigate the arena, with clear access points and an event-ready layout that supports smooth crowd flow.
Address: Birkebeinervegen 122, Lillehammer, Norway. The most straightforward approach is from the base area below the jump, and there is parking right by the venue, making arrival by car uncomplicated.

Before or after the event, Lillehammer offers plenty of “tourist bonuses” to round out the day. Stroll along Storgata, drop into local cafés and galleries, or explore Maihaugen, one of Norway’s best-known open-air museums. Along the shores of Mjøsa and the riverside paths by Gudbrandsdalslågen, it’s easy to find a quiet spot to unwind, while nearby viewpoints and ski jumps deliver iconic panoramas that have become a signature of the town.
