Neujahrsskispringen at the Olympic Ski Jump in Garmisch-Partenkirchen

The New Year's jumping spectacle in Garmisch-Partenkirchen is one of those sporting events that define the start of the calendar year for all winter sports enthusiasts. At the impressive Olympic Ski Jump, also known as Große Olympiaschanze on the slopes of Gudiberg, January 1, 2026, at 00:00 officially begins the day dedicated to ski jumping and the heated atmosphere of the stands. It is then that the world's best ski jumpers meet in a unique blend of flying jumps, laser-precise competition, and fan frenzy, while thousands of spectators from the stands and standing areas follow every takeoff and flight. Tickets for this event are traditionally in high demand, as they offer not only a sporting experience at the highest world level but also a special New Year's atmosphere in the heart of the Bavarian Alps. When planning your trip, it is worth thinking about securing tickets as early as possible, as the most attractive positions along the landing area and in the stands fill up long before the day of the competition. Secure your tickets for this event immediately – as soon as you decide on a trip to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, click the button below and reserve your place among the fans!

Why ski jumping in Garmisch-Partenkirchen is so special

Garmisch-Partenkirchen has held the status of one of the most important ski jumping centers in the world for decades, primarily thanks to its role in the prestigious Four Hills Tournament (Vierschanzentournee), where the traditional New Year's competition is held right here at the Olympic Ski Jump. The ski jump with a construction point of K-125 and a hill size of HS142 allows jumpers to fly over 140 meters, and the current record of 145 meters was set in 2025, which speaks volumes about the challenge and potential of this hill. During the New Year's jumps, the stadium is filled with flags from all over the world, from Germany, Austria, and Slovenia, to Poland and Norway, and even fans from more distant countries who combine their vacation, skiing, and following the World Cup here. Under such conditions, ticket sales do not only concern local fans – many fans plan their trip months in advance, combining the purchase of tickets with accommodation reservations and winter holidays. That is why tickets for this event are often referred to as "winter currency" among fans, because those who do not secure their tickets in time can easily be condemned to watching the jumps only through a screen.

The competition program and what a day spent at the ski jump looks like

Although the official date and start of the event are listed as January 1, 2026, at 00:00, the day of ski jumping in practice extends through the entire morning and afternoon, with training sessions, trial jumps, qualifications, and two competition series that decide the winner. It is common for part of the program to be held as early as the day before, December 31, while the highlight of the competition takes place precisely on New Year's Day, when Garmisch-Partenkirchen turns into the global center of ski jumping. A ticket valid for one day allows you to take advantage of that entire experience – from the first jumps while the stadium is still filling up, until the moment when the best jumpers take to the starting gate in the fight for victory and important points in the overall standings. A day at the stadium is not just watching the jumps: fans participate in waves in the stands, follow the results on large screens, discuss the judges' style points, and compare distances with hill records. Because of all this, many advise that tickets be purchased in advance to avoid crowds at the box office and stress on the day of the competition, when the most important thing is to enjoy the atmosphere and cheering.

How ski jumping works – rules, scoring, and what to watch

For spectators coming to a ski jumping competition for the first time, it is good to know the basic scoring rules and terminology to better understand why one jump is better than another. The ski jump has a so-called construction point, the K-point, marked on the hill, and a jumper who lands exactly at that distance receives 60 points for distance; every meter above or below that point brings additional or deducted points, depending on the size of the hill. In addition to distance, style points are also very important: five judges evaluate the flight, landing, and the exit from the landing area, awarding up to 20 points, whereby the highest and lowest scores are discarded, and the middle three are added up. In modern ski jumping, wind corrections and changes in the length of the starting ramp also play a significant role to ensure fair competition in different weather conditions. Spectators in the stands very quickly learn to recognize the ideal "telemark" landing, the moment when the jumper steadily touches the snow with one leg in front of the other and arms spread – this is usually a sign that the judges' scores will be high. When you know all these elements, tickets suddenly stop being just a card for entry to the stadium and become the key to a much deeper understanding of a sport that looks simple but is actually decided in the nuances.

Olympic Ski Jump – architecture, history, and place in world sports

The Olympic Ski Jump in Garmisch-Partenkirchen has a rich history dating back to the first ski jumps at that location in the 1920s, and today's version grew out of the preparations for the 1936 Winter Olympics, when this Bavarian town first cemented its status as a global winter center. The ski jump has been expanded and modernized several times over the decades, and today's recognizable tower, an imposing steel-concrete construction that rises above the forest on Gudiberg, was completed in 2007 to meet the latest FIS standards and become an architectural symbol of the region. The complex also includes smaller ski jumps for younger categories, and the legendary bob-run at Lake Riessersee, which gives the entire area the impression of a living open-air Olympic museum. During the New Year's jumps, the stadium is filled to the last seat, so all the stands, bridges, and embankments along the landing area serve as an improvised amphitheater where cheering, the sounds of fanfares, and excitement after the longest flights merge. That is exactly why the demand for tickets is high – the best views of the takeoff and landing usually go the fastest, so those who want the perfect position for photos and videos plan their ticket purchase as soon as the competition dates are announced.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen as the winter capital of Germany

Garmisch-Partenkirchen itself was created by the merger of two historical places, Garmisch and Partenkirchen, on the eve of the 1936 Winter Olympics, and today it is synonymous with top-quality winter tourism, hiking, and the Alpine atmosphere. A walk down the old Ludwigstrasse in the Partenkirchen part reveals traditional houses decorated with facade paintings, while the more modern Garmisch offers a wide selection of restaurants, cafes, and shops where fans warm up before heading to the stadium. In winter, the town is surrounded by the white peaks of the Wetterstein massif, and nearby rises the highest German peak, Zugspitze, which is why many visitors combine ski jumping with a day of skiing or a cable car trip. Precisely because of the popularity of the destination, accommodation capacities can be very full around the New Year, so along with buying tickets, it is equally important to book a hotel room, apartment, or guesthouse in time. To plan your trip and combine tickets with an overnight stay, it is good to review accommodation in Garmisch-Partenkirchen to choose a location that allows easy access to the stadium and the city center. When you harmonize all that, tickets do not only represent entry to a sporting event, but the beginning of a complete winter vacation in one of the most famous Alpine destinations.

Practical information: travel, equipment, and best places in the stadium

Garmisch-Partenkirchen is well connected with the rest of Germany and Europe – most visitors come via Munich, from where regular train lines and bus connections lead to this Alpine town, and then local transport or a walk takes fans to the Olympic Ski Jump. It can be reached by car via the highway and regional roads, but for the days of major competitions, the use of public transport is often recommended due to limited parking lots around the stadium. Winter conditions require warm, layered clothing, waterproof footwear, and accessories like hats, gloves, and thermoses – staying outdoors, surrounded by snow and occasional wind, lasts for hours. Those who want to be closer to the landing area usually choose standing places on the embankments, while the stands above it are ideal for a clearer view of the entire flight and the screens with results. For visitors coming with families, it is practical to consider accommodation near the stadium or along the main roads, so a review of accommodation near the venue can be crucial when planning arrival and departure after the program ends. Tickets for this event disappear quickly, so buy tickets in time via the button below and avoid stress on the day of the competition.

Tickets, categories, and tips for buying tickets

A ticket for this jumping spectacle is valid for one day, which means that with it you can follow the entire official program at the stadium, whether you want to arrive early and watch the trainings or come a bit later, immediately before the key series. It is common for there to be different zones – standing places along the landing area, stands closer to the starting gate, and combined areas with different views of the jumps – but specific layouts and possible additional options, such as special fan zones or family sectors, are always worth checking when buying tickets. Regardless of the chosen category, it is important to take into account what is more important to you: being as close as possible to the jumpers and feeling the rumble upon landing, or having a panoramic view of the entire stadium and the flight line. Since this is a New Year's term, when both the city and the ski resorts are crowded, it is advisable to secure tickets earlier, especially if you are coming in a larger group or with family. Buy tickets via the button below as soon as you coordinate your trip, accommodation, and company – this way you will avoid disappointment and be able to fully focus on cheering. For complete travel organization, it is useful to simultaneously plan accommodation for event visitors so that everything is ready before the advertising cannons and fan trumpets sound around the ski jump.

Experience from the stands: fans, traditions, and New Year's energy

Neujahrsskispringen in Garmisch-Partenkirchen is not just a sporting event, but also a kind of Alpine carnival in a winter guise, where fans from all over Europe gather to enter the new year together. Languages, flags, and fan songs mix on the stands and embankments along the landing area, and every series of jumps is accompanied by loud cheering and sighs when someone "overshoots" the critical point or fails to maintain a perfect telemark. In such an atmosphere, tickets gain additional value – you are not just buying the right to a view from the stands, but entry into a shared experience in which thousands of people breathe simultaneously with one jumper as they fly towards the landing area. A particularly impressive moment is when a graphic with a comparison of the hill record and the current jump appears on the large screens; while the jumper flies, the audience almost instinctively estimates whether they will cross the imaginary line and perhaps break the existing record. Before, between, and after the series, fans toast with warm drinks, comment on the jumps, compare their impressions with previous editions of the tournament, and already plan their next trip. If you want to be part of that story live, secure your tickets for this event as soon as possible – clicking the button below is the first step towards a New Year's experience that is remembered for years.

What to do in Garmisch-Partenkirchen before and after the jumps

Many visitors arrive in Garmisch-Partenkirchen a day or two earlier to combine ski jumping with discovering the city and surrounding nature, so tickets for the competition often fit into a broader winter holiday plan. A walk through the old center, a visit to local restaurants with Bavarian specialties, and evening walks through the illuminated streets create a special atmosphere, especially around the holidays when the windows are decorated and the smell of warm drinks and sweets is in the air on the squares. For nature lovers, a walk through the Partnachklamm, an impressive canyon where ice formations are created in winter, or a cable car trip to the Zugspitze, which offers a panoramic view of the Alps, is a must. The more active ones can spend a day at the Garmisch-Classic ski resorts or on the glacier, while families often opt for quieter winter walks and sledding with children. To make your stay as pleasant as possible, it is worth studying accommodation offers in the host city in advance and choosing a location that allows a quick return to the room after the competition or an evening out without a long journey. Thus, tickets for the jumps will be the central, but not the only, highlight of the stay in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Tips for families, beginners, and experienced ski jumping fans

For families coming with children, it is recommended to choose sectors with easier access and a good view of the landing area, as well as to plan shorter stays in the stands with breaks in the warmer zones of the stadium. Experienced fans know that the key to comfort is layered clothing, wind protection, and good footwear, with small additions like hand warmers and thermos bottles with a warm drink, which makes a day-long stay in minus temperatures much easier. Beginners in ski jumping will be helped by a short "learning" of the rules – understanding the K-point, style scores, and the influence of the wind – because every jump then turns into a small tactical story, and not just an impressive flight through the air. It also pays off to study the city layout, the approaches to the ski jump, and the offer of accommodation for event visitors in advance, so that everything, from arrival to return to the room, flows as simply as possible. In the end, regardless of whether you are coming for the first time or you are already an experienced fan who carefully keeps a collection of old tickets from the stands, the common denominator remains the same: tickets for this event are worth much more than just the paper or QR code, so secure them in time and indulge in the New Year's atmosphere of ski jumping in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
