The ski jumping venue in Eschbach, Einsiedeln was built in 2001. 2010 the venue is the Nationale Sprunganlage (National Ski jumping venue) of Switzerland. The venue includes four hills, K105, K70, K45 and K25.
2001
In 2001 the first ski jumping hill in Eschbach was built. It was only a small K-20 hill, and it was torn down already in 2004.[1]
New hills
In 2003 the construction of four new top-modern ski jumping hills in Eschbach started.[1] In July 2005 the new plastic covered facility with lift and an artificial snow machine could be opened after two years of construction time.[1] The 12 million SFr project hosted Continental Cup and World Cup Grand Prix ski jumping competitions in summer 2005.[1]
While building the hill, many members of Ski club Einsiedeln helped the workers with for example placing the plastic mattings in all four hills.[1]
Nowadays Einsiedeln every year hosts World Cup - Summer Grand Prix competitions in both Ski jumping and Nordic combined.
After the opening the four ski jumps had the sponsored names AKAD-, Swisscom-, große and kleine KPT-Schanze. But then in the spring of 2009 the name of the AKAD-schanze (K105) was changed too Andreas Küttel-Schanze, to honor Andreas Küttel who was born in Einsiedeln. The K77 changed name to Simon Ammann-Schanze.[1]
