The Erdinger Arena is one of the most impressive and most beautiful ski jumping stadiums in the world. Almost daily national and international training groups practice on the jumping hills in the arena. In addition, numerous events such as the Four Hills Tournament, concerts and much more take place every year. A ski museum, guided tours, the “skywalk-park” between the jumping hills and a restaurant complete the experience.

Note that “Audi Arena” and “Erdinger Arena” are one and the same place. It simply changed the main sponsor and with this its name. Be prepared for further changes in the coming years, depending on the ever changing main sponsors. The arena is located at the northern hill of the “Schattenberg” and its eponymous ski jumping hills. It is famous worldwide for its beautiful surroundings. It even has its own little waterfall, within the compound, that can be seen next to the standing area. An arena trip includes a climb by elevator to the top of the jumping tower and a visit to the ski museum. The latter is located in the main building and is reviewed separately on TA. Note that if you visit on a day when a ski jump event is taking place, the arena trip is not possible. The gondolas of the cable car to the “Nebelhorn” summit crosses the grand stands the whole day, even during World Cup events. The grand stands, surrounding the landing area for the athletes, look like a football stadium cut in half and can accommodate 27000 people Do not confuse the “Schattenberg-Schanze” with the even bigger “Heini-Klopfer-Schanze”, which is a few kilometers away and used for the spectacular ski flying events. Ski Jumping originated in the 18th century, in the Norwegian province of Telemark. With time, the interest for this new discipline rose and Ski Jumping became a sport of its own. Today Ski Jumping is one of the most popular disciplines in winter sports. Around the world fans gather to watch athletes fly through the air at world cup competitions and the famous “Vierschanzentournee” (Four Hills Tournament). Ski jumping was added to the Olympic winter games in 1924.

Having travelled by bus from Oberstdorf where we were staying, we caught the bus at the main bus terminal 9€ return. The visitors Oberstdorfer card has no discount on the bus. The journey must have been 1/2 an hour travelling through some wonderful scenery. Arriving at the Gondel station, we found prices for adults are 25€ return or up and down. But if you have the Card which is given to visitors who stay overnight in hotels, then the lift is FREE. Arriving up on top at 1,946m. you have the opertunity to walk up to the Cross at the summit, Walmendingerhorn at 1,199mt. There is a cafe and Souvenier shop with a sun bathing area with deckchairs. From here you can go wandering in the mountains, but becarefull mountains are dangerous when wet. When you look North from the cross you are looking at German mountain, to the right Austrian and to the left Swiss mountains, you can see the 3 countries from one paroramic view. I was interested in the wild mountain flowers where their are 100 varieties. In June there is the red mountain rose, but as it was late August, most flowers had died leaving some wonderfull seed pods with a few flowers as well. Catching the bus back to Oberstdorf, we stopped off the bus at Hirschegg, a Hirsch is a large deer, did you know they laid eggs. I didnt either. We then went to a cafe by the church before returning to our Hotel. You can stop at any bus stops and then get back on another bus if you see something interesting.
