About

Quick facts: The snowboard and freestyle ski jump used during the 2010 Winter Olympics attracts numerous visitors and local events annually. The location spans 9.5 hectares, a center for snow sports in winter and exhibitions in summer.

Highlights: Odd fact: during the Olympics, the Olympic flame burned right next to the venue while athletes performed spectacular jumps from the 18-meter jump ramp. The space is now used for concerts and festivals, providing an impressive mix of adrenaline and culture.
