An impressive facility, very imposing. Respect! A visit is a must if you are in the region, you should see it. Garmisch-Partenkirchen is famous for its ski jumping competitions, which are held on the large Olympic ski jump on the Gudiberg.

The ski jump was built in 1923 and gained international fame as the venue for the 1936 Winter Olympics. Since then, it has traditionally been the venue for the New Year's ski jumping competition as part of the Four Hills Tournament. Over the years, the ski jump has been modernized several times to meet the current requirements of ski jumping. Today, it impresses with a 100-meter-long inrun tower that blends harmoniously into the alpine landscape.

The Olympic ski jump is open to visitors all year round. Guided tours offer insights into the history and technology of ski jumping. A special highlight is the view from the ski jump tower, which offers a breathtaking view over Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the surrounding mountains.

After Garmisch was awarded the contract to host the IV Olympic Winter Games in 1936, a new stadium had to be built for the opening ceremony.[6] This was started on March 14, 1934 by Mayor Scheck and Baron le Fort as part of the meeting on the final completion of the Great Olympic Ski Jump and the conversion and expansion of the old Gudiberg Ski Jump. It was built in the same year at the end of the Great Olympic Ski Jump within a short period of time and consisted of earthen and terraced wooden stands that offered space for 40,000 guests. By taking advantage of every possible viewing opportunity, even 60,000 people could enter the stadium.[6] The architect was Arnulf Albinger. Since the ski stadium offered more seats than the more centrally located Olympic Ice Stadium, the organizing committee recommended that the opening and closing ceremonies be held in the ski stadium instead of the ice stadium, unlike what had been usual up to that point. They also recommended using the ski stadium as the start and finish of the 18-kilometer cross-country skiing, the 50-kilometer endurance run, and the 4 × 10-kilometer relay race.

The then IOC President De Baillet-Latour described the stadium with the ski jumps as “the most beautiful winter sports facility in the world.”
