Stadion, Ski stadium in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

The Olympia-Skistadion is a ski jumping facility in Garmisch-Partenkirchen featuring a horseshoe-shaped spectator stand that opens toward four ski jumps. The grounds also contain the Olympic House, a restaurant located within the facility.

The stadium was built in 1934 at the foot of the Große Olympiaschanze, designed by Arnulf Albinger with earth and terraced wooden stands for 40,000 spectators. It hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1936 Winter Olympics, where the Olympic flame was lit above the small hill. Rebuilt in 1939 in concrete and stone into a horseshoe shape for the cancelled 1940 Games, it later became a tourist attraction receiving over half a million visitors a year.

Every 1 January the stadium hosts the New Year's jumping of the Four Hills Tournament, and around 80,000 jumps end here each year. The opening ceremony of 1936 was moved here from the ice stadium because the ski stadium held more seats. IOC president Baillet-Latour called the complex with the hills the most beautiful winter sports facility in the world.

The stadium is freely accessible to visitors; the themed trail from the stadium past a viewing platform over the jumps and the Eckbauerbahn has information panels. From about May to September, two public guided tours a week follow the trail, and participants can climb the take-off platform of the Große Olympiaschanze. The western main entrance is on Widenauerstraße, the eastern one on Karl-und-Martin-Neuner-Platz; line buses of the Gemeindewerke stop at the stadium.

About 80,000 ski jumps end in the stadium each year, and the hill record stands at 145.5 m, set by Stephan Embacher on 31 December 2025 during qualifying for the New Year's jump. The outrun of the jump itself forms the stadium floor.
