The ground-breaking ceremony for the construction
of the new ski jumping center was held in Kandersteg
(SUI) on Monday. The construction work will start
next week and shall be completed by fall 2015.
During the first two phases of construction it is
planned to mainly work on the infrastructure of
the new national nordic ski center, the construction
of the jumping hills shall then begin in the third
phase in spring 2015.
The profile of the three hills will be adjusted
and the new inrun tracks will be installed. In addition
the new inclined lift to the start of the HS 106
and HS 72 will be mounted. After that the construction
work will be completed and the new facility will
be put into operation.
With the ground-breaking ceremony for this project
on July 21st, initiator Robert Rathmayer is yet
another step closer to turn his vision of making
Kandersteg a training center for the ski jumpers
into reality.
