March 25, 2001:
After countless project and financing discussions carried out in advance, with the great personal commitment of the then ÖSV President Peter Schröcksnadel, manual construction work could begin in March 2001. On March 25, 2001 the old ski jump tower was spectacularly blown up. The Brenner motorway in the immediate area and the rail systems made the demolition a complicated project, but in the end there was no damage to either transport route.
04.01.2002:
Despite numerous doubts and the ever-increasing media pressure, those responsible managed to make the new ski jump ready for jumping in time for the 50th Bergisel ski jump. The first victory on the new Bergiselschanze was taken by the German Sven Hannawald, who was able to win all four jumps in the legendary jumping series for the first time in history during this tour. For safety reasons, the stadium could not be completely filled, but there were still 22,000 fans in the stadium.

From the center of Innsbruck comfortably reachable in 45 minutes. The short walk leads past the Andreas Hofer monument and offers a beautiful view of Innsbruck and the Nordkette. You can also get a ticket and visit the Bergisel Stadium and the viewing platform of the diving tower.

Great when someone is jumping
