Holmenkollen

Holmenkollen is home to the Holmenkollbakken ski jump.
Ski jumping competitions have been held at Holmenkollen every year from 1892 to 2008. In 2008 the ski jump was re-build and opened again right before the World Championships in 2011. Holmenkollen is regarded as being among the three most famous sports arenas in the world. The ski jump has been re-developed on 18 previous occasions, the last time in preparation for the World Championships in 2011.
The height difference between the upper platform and the outrun is 121 metres.

Next to the jump, is the Holmenkollen Chapel that was first built in 1903 but it was destroyed by fire in 1992. The new chapel was completed in 1996.

After a rather cloudy day, we were able to enjoy the last rays of sunset, in which I was able to film these aerial shots with the Dron
