Olympialøypa is an Olympic and World Cup technical ski course in Hafjell, Norway.[1][2][3]

History

Olympialøypa debuted in March 1991 with men's World Cup events in giant slalom and slalom. The course was built especially for the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer for alpine skiing in the technical disciplines for men and women. The speed events were held at Kvitfjell on its Olympiabakken course.

The course hosted the season-ending World Cup finals in 1996 and 2003 in slalom and giant slalom for both men and women. Unlike Kvitfjell's Olympiabakken speed course, a regular stop on the circuit, this technical course has hosted only a handful of World Cup events.
