The Kiremitliktepe Kayakla Atlama Kuleleri complex in Erzurum was built as one of the key investments preparing the city to host the 2011 Winter Universiade. Its construction was initiated by the Ministry of Sports and the Turkish Ski Federation, and in March 2008 a tender was awarded to the Turkish company Sarıdağlar, which cooperated on the project with the renowned Slovenian design studio Atelje S. Construction began in 2009 and lasted approximately ten months, and the official opening of the complex—built at a cost of around 20 million euros—took place in September 2010. Initially, the venue operated under the name Türk Telekom Ski Jumping Towers, but after the end of the sponsorship and organizational cooperation related to the Universiade, the name referring to its location—Kiremitliktepe—became established. The owner and operator of the complex is the Erzurum Provincial Directorate of Youth and Sports (GSİM).
The complex consists of five ski jumps: the large hill HS140 (K125), the normal hill HS109 (K95), and three smaller hills—K65, K40 and K20—intended for youth training. The most distinctive feature of the venue is the inrun tower of the large hill, approximately 43 metres high, decorated with Olympic rings visible from much of the city. At its top there is a café offering panoramic views of Erzurum and the surrounding Palandöken Mountains. The extensive infrastructure also includes a hotel and bungalows for athletes, a wellness area with sauna and jacuzzi, and a gym; the entire complex is equipped with floodlighting that allows evening competitions, while the stands can accommodate around 10,000 spectators.
Shortly after its opening, the venue hosted its first international competitions, including Continental Cup events in 2010. In 2011 it staged the most important event in the complex’s history to date—ski jumping and Nordic combined competitions during the Winter Universiade. One year later, Erzurum hosted the 2012 Junior World Ski Championships (JWSC), during which outstanding performances were recorded by athletes such as Sara Takanashi, Klemens Murańka, Aleksander Zniszczoł and Nejc Dežman. Until 2014, the hills were regularly used for Continental Cup competitions and Nordic combined events.
Further use of the facility was halted by a serious disaster. On 15 July 2014, a major landslide occurred, destroying the landing slopes of all five ski jumps along with the stands and parts of the technical infrastructure. Geological reports and independent analyses later pointed to construction flaws, including insufficient foundation depth, inadequate slope stabilization, and the effects of excessive ground saturation. The venue was immediately taken out of operation. Reconstruction began in 2015–2016 and included ground stabilization, rebuilding of the landing areas, reinforcement of foundations, and modernization of selected facilities. The works were completed at the end of 2016, and Kiremitliktepe was reopened to athletes.
A return to full use took place during the 2017 European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF), when ski jumping competitions were held in Erzurum and won, among others, by Timi Zajc and Romane Dieu. Later that year, two Continental Cup competitions were also held on the large hill, both won by Nejc Dežman. Further events of this level took place in January 2018, when one of the competitions was won by David Siegel, who set the large hill record with a jump of 144.0 metres, still regarded as the official and best-documented HS140 record. In 2019, the venue hosted the Turkish Championships, won by Fatih Arda İpcioğlu, although planned FIS Cup and Continental Cup competitions scheduled for that period were ultimately cancelled due to financial reasons.
After 2019, no further international competitions were held at the hills, and in the following years renewed technical problems appeared on the landing surfaces, particularly on the two main hills (K125 and K95). As a result of bulging and damage to the concrete surfaces, these hills were taken out of use by decision of technical authorities and the plastic matting was removed. For an extended period, the complex was unable to function as a full training base, forcing Turkish ski jumpers to spend more time training and holding camps abroad. In the mid-2020s, further repair works were initiated, including the modernization of the inrun systems carried out by a German company owned by Peter Riedel, as well as a planned change in landing-hill technology involving the removal of the concrete surface and the construction of a new wooden substructure beneath the plastic matting; at present, the hills remain in preparation for reopening.
Kiremitliktepe also has a rich record history. On the large hill HS140, the best result belongs to David Siegel (144.0 m, 2018), while in earlier years impressive jumps were also produced by Matej Dobovšek and Daniel Lackner. The official hill record on the normal hill HS109 belongs to Timi Zajc, who achieved 114.5 metres during the 2017 EYOF. In the same competition, the Slovenian also produced the longest jump ever recorded on the hill—117.5 metres—but as the landing was not stood, it is not recognized as an official hill record. Previously, the record-holder status had been held by athletes such as Klemens Murańka and Aleksander Zniszczoł. The women’s record of 110.5 metres dates from 2012 and belongs to Sara Takanashi, who won the Junior World Championship gold medal in Erzurum.

Umbau
Die Schanzen werden wieder gerettet. Matten wurden entfernt und der Unterbau wird ersetzt. Der neue Unterbau soll aus Holz gebaut werden, somit fünfmal leichter sein als der alte Betonunterbau, und deshalb den Hang entlasten.
