Three hill complexes in the far north – the story continues

Mo i Rana – the beginning of a Nordic success story

The beginning was made in 2021 with the new hill center Fageråsen in Mo i Rana, just a few kilometers south of the Arctic Circle. At that time, we delivered five Clubtrack approaches for the hills from K10 to K105.

The facility was created with great commitment from local clubs and numerous volunteers. For us, this project was a special milestone: it significantly improved training opportunities for young ski jumpers in northern Norway and made year-round training possible directly in the region.

Now this story is continued with two more projects that we are currently working on intensively.

Trondheim – this time for the junior athletes

Trondheim is no longer unfamiliar territory for us. With the new construction of the two large ski jumping hills for the Nordic World Ski Championships 2025, we realized one of the most extensive projects in our company’s history there. Now we are again in Granåsen – this time with a different task.

In the youth center, which comprises six hills from K5 to K60 in total, we are equipping the K60 hill with a new Clubtrack approach. The work is already in its final phase.

A project that shows how important it is to Norwegians to continue developing their training infrastructure. Because even in the homeland of ski jumping, junior athletes are by no means a given. To inspire children and adolescents to the sport, modern facilities and good training conditions are required.

Steinkjer – the next stop in the north

From Trondheim our path leads us to Steinkjer. There we are also in the final stages of completing a new club track approach for the K74 hill.

Here too, modernization of training options is the focus. With our Clubtrack system we rely on a solution developed specifically for smaller and medium-sized hills. The ceramic studs enable reliable summer operation, while in winter operation is possible without elaborate ice production.

Especially for clubs that rely heavily on voluntary work, the combination of durable technology and low maintenance is a decisive advantage.

The future of ski jumping begins on the small hills

Norway is one of the most successful ski jumping nations in the world. Yet those responsible know that athletic success does not come automatically. Attracting Nachwuchs and inspiring a long-term commitment to the sport is a challenge.

All the more encouraging that, in addition to the major international competition venues, the smaller hills are also being modernized. For those who one day want to stand at Holmenkollen or at a World Championship on top, their first jumps are usually taken on a small club hill.

Perhaps the next great Norwegian ski jumping career is just beginning on one of these tracks.

For us, the work in Trondheim and Steinkjer is now nearing completion. The story of Peter Riedel in the far north is certainly far from over.
