History:
Grønnåsen Hoppsenter is a ski jumping complex located in Tromsø, northern Norway. The tradition of ski jumping in this region dates back to the late 19th century – the first dedicated competitions took place in 1888 at Røstbakken. In the following decades, many smaller hills were built in Tromsø, especially during the 1950s and 1960s. In 1908, a larger hill was constructed in Doktordalen, serving as the city's main ski jumping venue until the 1980s, after which it was dismantled.
The first known use of the Grønnåsen area for ski jumping took place as early as 1921, when Olaf Sæter conducted jumping attempts there in natural terrain, without any permanent infrastructure. In the following decades, the site was occasionally used for skiing activity. According to club sources, the first permanent wooden scaffold, forming the basis of later infrastructure, appeared in the 1970s. From 1983 onwards, Tromsø Skiklub conducted systematic training and preparatory work for the construction of a modern ski jumping facility, which officially began in 1987 and continued until 1994. The project was initiated by the local community and realized through tremendous volunteer effort. In 2006–2007, a new clubhouse for Tromsø Skiklub – one of Norway’s oldest ski clubs, founded in 1897 – was opened.
Today, the Grønnåsen ski jumping facility consists of five hills arranged in a south-to-north line. The smallest hills, K6 and K13, were built from concrete in 2017 as modern training structures with plastic mats, ceramic inruns, and surface sprinkling systems. K6 replaced the earlier snow-based K3, while K13 replaced the approximately 20-year-old wooden K12.
K30 is located just below the clubhouse and features a wooden inrun and a judges’ tower. K45 lies further north, also with a wooden structure, and was modernized in 2011 with the addition of ceramic inrun tracks. The largest and most advanced hill is the K70, made of steel and equipped with heated ceramic tracks.
Between 2020 and 2024, the complex underwent further modernization. The smallest hills were adapted for year-round use. For many years, both the club and the local community have supported the idea of building a new K90 or K100 hill. In the past, when Tromsø considered bidding to host the Winter Olympics, plans even included a potential K120.
Grønnåsen Hoppsenter plays an important role in training young ski jumpers in northern Norway. The club offers training programs, equipment rentals, and beginner courses as part of the “Hoppskole” initiative, making the facility accessible also to newcomers. The complex is associated with Olympic jumper Johann André Forfang, a native of Tromsø. Grønnåsen is now one of the northernmost ski jumping centers in the world with full infrastructure and year-round training capabilities.
The Tromsø region once aimed to host the 2018 Winter Olympic Games, but this bid – like the earlier attempt for 2014 – was ultimately rejected by the Norwegian government.

Ski Jumping In December 2018, Tromso
Hello there,
I am holidaying in Tromso in December 2018 for my 50th birthday and would love to see some ski-jumping. I was just wondering if I would be likely to watch any at that time?
Kindest regards,
Andi Jones
