A shortcut to Norwegian sporting history but also national identity, the Holmenkollbakken hill has been staging ski jumping competitions since 1892. The ski jumping events of the Winter Olympics were held here in 1952 and Four FIS Nordic World Ski Championships have taken place at this venerated location.
Within the structure of the ski jump is the Ski Museum, which guides you through the 4,000-year history of skiing in Norway. You can peruse artifacts from Norwegian polar exhibitions and check out state-of-the-art skis and snowboards. At the highest point of the ski jump is a panoramic observation deck that lets you look over Oslo and its fjord.
