ORLEN Arena Oberstdorf Allgäu

ORLEN Arena Oberstdorf Allgäu is more than a ski jumping venue—it’s a landmark where winter sport turns into pure spectacle. Set at the foot of the Schattenberg, the arena combines modern grandstands with the striking geometry of its hills, welcoming around 27,000 spectators when the big events come to town. Its reputation is built on top-level international competitions, including the iconic opening stop of the Four Hills Tournament.

From the inside, everything feels close and intense: the sightlines toward the inrun and landing hill are wide open, and the crowd noise naturally amplifies across the stands, making each jump feel even bigger. Visitors appreciate well-organized sections, convenient food and drink points, and the practical amenities that make long competition days comfortable—clear wayfinding, service areas, and places to warm up between rounds.

You’ll find it at Am Faltenbach 27, Oberstdorf, Germany. Reaching the entrance is straightforward by following the ski jump arena signage, with parking and short drop-off zones nearby, followed by a brief walk to the main checkpoints.

Oberstdorf, a gem of the Allgäu in Bavaria, is not only an Alpine postcard view, but also a natural hub for sports competitions and concerts in an intimate mountain atmosphere. The town combines top-notch event organization with a relaxed pace of stay, making it ideal if you want to pair great entertainment with a short escape into nature. With a clear range of things to do and the charm of a traditional resort, Oberstdorf is an excellent choice when you’re looking for tickets and an experience that continues before and after the event itself.

Getting there is straightforward: by train you arrive at Bahnhof Oberstdorf, and then you can move around quickly thanks to local services such as the Ortsbus and regional bus connections, including the Walserbus. Links to arenas, sports venues and key points in town are practical and easy to navigate, which simplifies planning whether you’re coming for a major sports program or an evening concert. If you fly in, the most common choices are Flughafen Memmingen (Allgäu Airport) or Flughafen München (Franz Josef Strauss), followed by train, bus or car to Oberstdorf.

When you have time beyond the event, stroll around the Marktplatz and streets lined with typical Alpine architecture, then head down to the riverside paths along the Iller, which is formed here by the confluence of mountain tributaries. For a calmer break, Fuggerpark is a great option, and for a true “wow” moment many choose a walk through the Breitachklamm or a panoramic cable-car ride on the Nebelhornbahn. That’s how you get the full experience: the event as the highlight of the evening and a destination that works just as well as a mini getaway.
