Built in 1926, the ski jump on Bergisel had become one of the most important in the world by the 1930's. The facility underwent complete renovations for the Winter Olympic Games of 1964 and 1976. Today the arena is on the circuit of the annual Four Jump Tournament and is the venue for the annual "Air and Style" snowboard event. The spectator seating area on Bergisel is also used for mega events such as open air concerts or the papal visit.
