History:
Hiittenharjun Hyppyrimäki in Harjavalta is part of a multifunctional winter sports centre located on the distinctive Hiittenharju ridge in the Satakunta region. Ski jumping has a long tradition here: the first ski jump was built already in 1951. A period of dynamic development began in 1970, when the local club Harjavallan Jymy opened a modern complex consisting of four hills: the large K64, the medium-sized K42 (from the start covered with plastic matting), as well as the smaller K22 and K8. Soon afterwards, a plastic-covered K18 was added, making Hiittenharju one of the most important training centres for young ski jumpers in Western Finland.
In the 1970s and 1990s, the venue played a significant role in the Finnish competition calendar. In 1973, the Finnish Championships on the normal hill were held here, with Kari Ylianttila taking the title. In 1990, the event returned to Harjavalta, and the victory went to the local talent Vesa Hakala, who would later become a world championship silver medallist in the team event. In the same year, championships on the smaller hill were also held, as confirmed by archival film footage. In the following years, the complex hosted numerous youth competitions and the Finnish Veterans’ Championships; in 2007, for example, Juha Nykänen won on the large hill with jumps reaching up to 58 metres.
At its peak, the complex was one of the most recognisable sports facilities in Satakunta. The K64 and K42 towers dominated the surrounding landscape and became a characteristic element of the Hiittenharju area. Over time, however, the wooden structures required increasingly costly maintenance, and the technical condition of the hills deteriorated visibly. Eventually, in November 2019, the decision was made to dismantle the large and medium hills, and in 2022 the worn-out K22 hill was also removed.
The removal of the old structures did not mark the end of ski jumping in Harjavalta. On the contrary – a modernisation programme was launched with the aim of developing young athletes. In 2022, three new training hills were built: K10, K6 and K1.5. In 2023–2024 a new K40 (HS45) hill was constructed on the site of the former K42. Its tower originates from the decommissioned Ulvilan Massi complex, but it was thoroughly modernised and adapted to the profile of Hiittenharju. The K40/HS45 is a modern, year-round plastic-covered hill, currently used mainly for junior training and competitions. According to club information, the current record on the new hill is 42 metres.
Hiittenharju is also strongly linked to the career of its most famous ski jumper, Vesa Hakala. Born in Harjavalta, he won a silver medal at the 1991 World Championships in the team event and became Finnish champion in 1990 on his home hill, the K64. After ending his competitive career, he remained active as a coach and local sports organiser, supporting the development of young jumpers in his hometown.
