History
The first ski jumping competitions were held in this place already in 1925 , however, they were very injured - the first structures were wooden. Already in 1930, the largest ski jump at that time was built from more reliable materials. This made it possible to hold the World Ski Championships in Innsbruck in 1933 . Then, before the 1964 Winter Olympics, the springboard again needed restructuring, after which the building was used without reconstruction for more than 35 years.
Here, on the Bergizel sports ground, the Olympic flame was lit three times - in 1964 , 1976 and 2012 .
Modern Reconstruction
In mid- 1999, the Austrian government organized an international competition for the reconstruction of the ski jump in Innsbruck, which ceased to meet international standards and did not fit into the project to create a new Olympic Arena.
In December 1999, the competition was won by Zaha Hadid Architects, which was led by the famous British architect Zaha Hadid . Already on June 14, 2001, the construction of a new springboard began, which was even faster than expected. And finally, on September 14, 2002, this component of the Olympic arena was built. In total, the construction took 15 months and a little more than 15 million euros . For this work, Zaha Hadid received the Austrian State Architectural Prize.
Description
The building combines the features of both a specialized sports facility and partially a public place, including a cafe and a terrace for viewing.
With a length of about 90 m and a height of almost 50 m, the building is a synthesis of a tower and a bridge . From a structural point of view, it is divided into a vertical concrete tower and a three-dimensional steel structure that connects the inclined passage and the cafe. Elevators take visitors to the cafe to a height of 40 m above the peak of Mount Bergisel . From here they can enjoy the view of the alpine landscape and watch the athletes from above. From the top of the tower, a circular panorama of the surrounding mountains opens with the peaks of Patcherkoffel , Nordkette , Hohe Mund and Serles .

The ski jump record since 2015 belongs to Michael Khaibek - 138.0 meters.
