What it is
The Bergisel is the hill south of Innsbruck where ski jumping has taken place since 1927. The current ski jump was designed by Zaha Hadid for the Austrian ski federation: building work began in June 2001, the first test jump was on 31 December that year and it opened on 14 September 2002. Its 50 m tower can be seen from a good part of the city.
Jumping was held here at the 1964 and 1976 Olympic Games, and at the 2012 Youth Olympic Games. Since 1953 it has been one of the four venues of the Four Hills Tournament, held each winter around the turn of December to January. The stadium has a capacity of 28,000 spectators, the K-point is at 120 m and the winter record, 138 m, has been held by the Austrian Michael Hayböck since 2015.
What you see
Admission includes the inclined funicular and the tower lift, with unlimited rides. At the top you have the viewing terrace, about 250 m above the city: you look down the 98 m in-run and see the stadium at your feet, the Inn valley, the old town and the Nordkette opposite. About 40 m up is the Bergisel SKY panoramic restaurant, with a 360-degree view. You can also walk round the stadium on your own.
Allow an hour; more if you eat at the top.
