First thing we saw as we approached Innsbruck. The Bergisel Sprungschanze Stadion is a ski jumping hill stadium built for the Olympics. First competitions were held in the 1920s using wood constructions. A larger hill was first built in 1930 and was rebuilt for the 1964 Winter Olympics for the individual large hill event. Twelve years later, the venue hosted the same event. The hill in its current form was finished in 2003.
