Râșnov Ski Jump (Romanian: Trambulina Valea Cărbunării) is a ski jumping hill located within the Râșnov Sports Complex, in the Cărbunării Valley, southeast of Râșnov, Romania. It is the country's second largest ski jumping hill after the disused 110-meter Tintina.[1]
The whole ski jumping complex consists of four hills, with K-points of 90, 64, 35 and 15 meters, respectively.[1]
The 90-meter hill was designed by a Romanian architect and opened in 2012. The three other smaller hills were designed by the Austrian architect Christian Aske.
History
[edit]Râșnov ski jumping hill has been in existence since 1936. The newly built jumps are located on the outskirts of Râșnov, three kilometers southeast of the city center. The hill record is 103 metres, set on 22 February 2020.[2]
The project was supported by a public–private partnership between the Ministry of Regional Development and Tourism of Romania and OMV Petrom.[1] The investments were estimated at €15 million.[3]
Facilities
[edit]All four ski jumps are equipped with floodlight facilities, lifts, snow cannons and plastic mats, which allows them to be also used in summer.
