Savina Ski Jumping Center is a ski jumping complex located in Ljubno ob Savinji, Slovenia.

History

The first ski jumping competition in Ljubno was held in 1931. In 1949, the construction of the new K-60 hill began. The hill was planned and constructed by Stanko Bloudek, who also constructed the Letalnica bratov Gorišek ski flying hill. The construction was completed in 1952. The smaller training hills (K-18 nad K-20) were constructed in 1974 and 1955, respectively. The local ski jumping club SSK Ljubno was founded in 1973. In 1983, the K-20 hill was covered with plastic mate. In 2005, the venue was reconstructed according to the modern regulations set by the International Ski Federation. In 2015, the venue underwent major renovation.

The venue hosted ten FIS Ski jumping World Cup events for ladies as of 2017. Daniela Iraschko-Stolz holds the hill record with 96.6 metres.
