Holmenkollen
Holmenkollen is host of the annual FIS World Cup ski competitions. In 2011 the World Ski Championships will take place in Holmenkollen.

The forerunner of the Holmenkollen ski jump ("Holmenkollbakken") was built in 1892, and in the intervening years many thrilling and keenly fought competitions have taken place in this traditional and world-renowned arena

Holmenkollen is not merely a sports venue; it is also a tourist magnet of note. With over a million visitors every year, the jump is Norway's most popular attractions. The starting platform at the top of the tower affords a breathtaking view of the wooded expanse of Nordmarka, a paradise for ramblers and skiers, the capital, Oslo and the islands of the fjord that bears its name. (opens in June or July)

Blasted out of the bedrock beside the jump is the Ski Museum. The world's oldest museum devoted to skis and the history of skiing with its exciting exhibitions. It is owned and administered by 'Skiforeningen' (The Association for the Promotion of Skiing).

At Holmenkollen there is a simulator in which visitors may experience for themselves the heart-stopping thrills of ski jumping and downhill racing.
