Holmenkollen is a hilly area in the outskirts of Norway's capital Oslo (within the city's area proper). The area has been a ski recreation area since the late 19th century, with its famous, eponymous, ski jump arena hosting competitions since January 1892, where it attracted 10,000 spectators.
The current tower dates from 1939. The ski jump has been upgraded as many as 15 times over the years, but stems largely from the Winter Olympics of 1952.
