Tradition since 1922
The Great Olympic Ski Jump in Garmisch-Partenkirchen has been the landmark of this Upper Bavarian winter sports resort since the 1936 Winter Olympics. The New Year's Ski Jumping has been held here since 1922 and has been the second stage of the Four Hills Tournament since 1953. The jump has a hill size of 142 meters and a K-point of 125 meters; the current hill record of 144 meters has been held by Dawid Kubacki since January 1, 2021.
Four Hills Tournament
The Four Hills Tournament is the most prestigious ski jumping competition in the world. Four jumps in ten days lead from Oberstdorf via Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Innsbruck and Bischofshofen. The New Year's jump is the second stage sportingly, but atmospherically, it is the most beautiful for many fans: the turn of the year, the wintry backdrop of the Zugspitze and the Wetterstein massif, and the sold-out stadium make January 1st in Garmisch one of the most intense winter sports days of the year.
Program and Format
On December 31st, official training and qualification are on the program; on January 1st, the trial round, competition round, and final follow. 50 athletes qualify for the competition day, where the victory is often decided by a few points.
Atmosphere in the Ski Stadium
The Olympic Ski Stadium at the foot of the jump can accommodate around 20,000 spectators in the opposite grandstand and in the outrun. The entrance opens in the morning; Bavarian snacks, mulled wine, and sausages are a must for many before the start. Live commentary, stadium announcers, and the ARD/ZDF broadcast ensure that the jumps become a collective New Year's experience far beyond the region.

New Year's Ski Jumping — edition 2026
The 2026 New Year's Ski Jumping took place on Thursday, January 1, 2026, in front of more than 20,000 spectators at the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Olympic Ski Stadium. It was the second stage of the 2025/26 Four Hills Tournament.
Before the competition day, official training and qualification had already taken place on the HS-142 jump on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2025. Domen Prevc had already announced his dominance in the qualification and then confidently left the competition behind in the final on New Year's Day.
From a German perspective, it was a decent, but not a podium, competition: Felix Hoffmann (6th place) and Philipp Raimund (7th place) nevertheless remained in promising positions in the overall Tour standings.
