History:
The village of Fiskars has natural conditions for ski jumping. Professional development started in 1919, when Finnish champion August Jansson came to work as an engineer at the local ironworks factory. The first hill was Doktorsbacken (Tohtorinmäki), which had a small inrun tower and allowed jumps up to 24 meters.
Not far from it, the larger Getberget ski jump with its impressive inrun tower was inaugurated on March 19, 1922. With a record of 37.5 meters by Jarl Sveholm, and then 39 m in 1924, it had been the biggest hill in Finland for a while. It was demolished in 1937.
Two years later, the Bollberget ski jump was built by Fiskars IF through volunteer work. It had a wooden inrun structure and knoll, and at the time, it was the third-biggest in Finland, right after Salpausselkä in Lahti and Pöyliövaara in Rovaniemi. After renovations in 1955, Pentti Heino jumped the eventual record of 60 meters. Bollberget had also a smaller facility built in 1955. Although used mainly for practice, the longest recorded jump was 33 meters. The hills were demolished in 1965 and 1970, respectively.
Furthermore, there was the Rompan 20-meter junior hill at Flaggberget, and the Sveitsi ("Switzerland") ski jump, which was built in 1951-52 and maintained by the Fiskarin Työväen Urheilijat.
The Fiskars Winter Games were held for the last time in 1970 and the ski jumping activities came to an end. Most famous jumpers from Fiskars were Uuno Suomalainen and Yrjö Kivivirta, who both won Finnish national titles.
