Chiemgau-Arena

The Chiemgau-Arena is a winter sports complex in Ruhpolding situated around 750 meters above sea level, combining multiple ski jumping hills with a biathlon stadium. The facility holds about 14000 spectators and features distinct zones designed for different Nordic sports disciplines.

The complex was established in 1962 and has hosted numerous international competitions regularly since then. Over the decades, it has become an important training location for winter sports athletes from various countries.

The arena serves as a German Ski Federation training center for four Olympic disciplines: cross-country skiing, ski jumping, Nordic combined, and biathlon.

The site is accessible by bus line 9533 and sits at the edge of town within easy reach for day visitors. Information about events and current conditions can be obtained locally or through tourism services.

The complex operates five distinct ski jumping hills within close proximity to each other, a feature found in only a few places worldwide. This concentration allows athletes to switch rapidly between different training formats.
