History:

At Otepää, the winter sports centre of Estonia, plastic covered K70 ski jump at Tehvandi training centre was opened on 1968-01-14. Mainly Estonian ski jumpers are practising there; international competitions are rare, while cross-country World Cup is hosted yearly.

In order to improve this situation and maybe being able to host a Nordic Junior WSC some time, in 2001 the planning of a new K90 ski jump has been started. By the help of private donators and European support the realisation of this project started in 2006. On January 18, 2008 the new plastic covered ski jumping hill with ceramic inrun trail, floodlights and snow-making machines, on whose inrun tower a 33 meter climbing wall was installed, too, was opened.

Only short time later the former K70 jump was destroyed since it was dilapidated. Once the Estonian skiing association might apply for Nordic Ski World’s after hosting Junior WSC in 2011, an extension of the ski jumping facility with K120, K70 and K50 is planned.
