In the early 20th century, there were discussions in Oslo about building an additional ski jumping facility to the Holmenkollen. Eventually, the Hyttli hills were chosen as a suitable location, where three ski jumping hills were built in 1914. This new facility profited of the 1916 completed final section of the Holmenkollen railway, since it was much easier to reach from then on.
In 1918, a historic competition took place: A total of 1132 jumpers participated at the Landsrennet, which sounds very much like a world record. In the same year, King Olav V. jumped on rank 3 in another competition. In 1919, 1920, 1921, 1925 and 1926, the largest Hyttlibakken was the venue of the famous Holmenkollrennet.
In 1960, the facility was equipped with floodlights. Nowadays, only the K30 still exists, also due to the fact that a ski resort was build around and so the other two hills had to be demolished. Even though this remaining ski jump is not in use anymore, it is still in a good condition.
