The Swedish branch of C. F. Møller Architects, Berg Arkitektkontor, has designed Sweden’s new, spectacular skiing attraction, Skipark 360°, the world’s most complete indoor ski park with e.g. a 700 m long downhill slope and a drop of 160 m, making it the only indoor ski slope in the world to meet the requirements for hosting the World Cup.

At a height of approx. 135 m, it will be one of Sweden’s largest buildings, and will become a landmark in the forest landscape just outside Stockholm. Construction of the ca. 1.5-2 billion Swedish kroner project is expected to start at the turn of 2013/2014.

The idea for the Skipark 360° in Bålsta – 45 minutes outside of Stockholm – came about as this proud skiing nation has experienced reduced snowfall in the last couple of years. With the new facilities, approx. 70,000 m2 in total, both elite and amateur athletes can train and enjoy the skiing season throughout the year.

Sweden’s new icon

The icon for the complex will be its downhill slope, which will rise as a new landmark. The building has a striking appearance, with a simplified silhouette that emphasizes the Swe-dish landscape of forest and lakes. But it is also dramatic in size – at a height of approx. 135 m, it will be one of Sweden’s largest structures, and will possess a visual tension in the vast building’s few support points, which taper downwards and meet the forest floor at an angle.

Self-sufficient in energy

Worldwide there are today approx. 30 indoor ski resorts for alpine use – the probably most well-known is in Dubai.

A newly-developed concept will ensure that the complex is the most eco-friendly of its kind in the world. The complex will thereby be self-sufficient in energy from renewable sources such as geothermal heating, solar power, wind power and hydropower.

Success in Sweden

C. F. Møller Architects has in recent years headed a great number of large construction projects in Sweden. This is the result of a focused effort. To strengthen the company’s position in Sweden, C. F. Møller in 2007 took over the Swedish company Berg Arkitekt-kontor. The Swedish branch of C. F. Møller has since then worked with assignments such as the national stadium of Stockholm, Swedbank Arena, with seating for 57,500 specta-tors. Among the latest big winning projects are the new, 70,000 m2 cutting-edge laboratory building Biomedicum, a unifying power house for research at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, and a new ferry terminal for the city of Stockholm for the ferry connections to Finland and the Baltics. At present the Stockholm Branch is also working on a master plan for the re-development of the Lock, Slussen, in central Stockholm and an extension of the Vasa Museum.

Sjukt häftigt projekt! Håller alla tummar jag har (två) för att projektet blir verklighet!

It is mentioned that the contruction might start next year, 2013, and be finnished by 2015. The project isi nteresting, however the choice of location is a little bit weird.

^^
Den geografiska platsen är för närvarande Håbo Kommun, Bålsta. Man kör av första avfarten på E18 från Stockholm och direkt till vänster ligger den mark som är aktuell. Valet av platsen utgörs av den goda infrastrukturen, E18, nära till Arlanda flygplats, tågstation för fjärrtåg samt pendeltåg från Stockholm. Genom att välja denna plats är det över tre miljoner människor som når destinationen med en timmes bilresa.

Känns som en motiverad placering, eller hur tänker du?

Wrong thread! :lol:


Can a mod please move this thread to the Sweden or Uppsala section please?

Why so? Bålsta is treated as a suburb of Stockholm as far as i know.

Someone called for mod? Oh...I had to check the map and Balsta seems to be right between Stockholm & Uppsala. I guess you could say that it's in the metro area of either city? :dunno: DJ,can you give us exact location for this project,so we can decide which city it belongs to? :D

Cool project,btw!

Well, judging from the fact that it is connected by a line of a commuter train, pendeltåg, with Stockholm and also Märsta (which is paralell to Bålsta) is included in metro area, it wouldn't be easy to sepparate it from Stockholm.

It's located in Uppsala län not Stockholm

so, who cares? Slow down and enjoyed this fabolous idea! :) OF

Bålsta happens be in Uppsala län, but functionally it's definitely part of the Stockholm metropolitan area.

Agreed. In this case municipal boundaries seem to mean a lot less given that Historically Bålsta had little population growth until it became well connected to Stockholm. If people are still objecting I can actually make a copy of this thread and we can have parallel posting in the general and in the Stockholm sub-forums.

Agreed. :)

Now this is what Sweden needs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think the location is a bit funny seeming as there are surrounding forests and open space nearer to stockholm and solna. I think they should build more of these things (entertainment)

The Company Skipark 360 that were supposed to build the giant indoor facility for skiing in Bålsta was declared bankrupt in may this year.
