What is the name of the ski-jumping hill in Oberstdorf used in the Four Hills Tournament?
Answer
Schattenbergschanze
Schattenbergschanze is the ski-jumping hill in Oberstdorf used in the Four Hills Tournament.
The hill stands in Oberstdorf, Germany, and traditionally hosts the tournament’s opening competition around the end of December. The Four Hills Tournament then continues at venues in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck, and Bischofshofen.
Schattenbergschanze is a large hill and has been rebuilt and modernized several times. Its name refers to the Schattenberg mountain near Oberstdorf. The venue has hosted major international ski-jumping competitions beyond the Four Hills Tournament, including world championships.
It is easy to confuse the hill with the tournament’s other venues. Bergiselschanze is in Innsbruck, Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze is in Bischofshofen, and Große Olympiaschanze is in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
