One lucky soul will get to enjoy an unforgettable night in one of Oslo's most iconic destinations later this month: the topmost floor of the JDS-designed Holmenkollen ski jump will be turned into a cozy, fully furnished Airbnb penthouse for the winner of a recent online contest.
From the contest description:
Set at the top of the ski jump where champions prepare for flight, the apartment’s floor to ceiling windows give you one of the best views imaginable of Oslo, snow capped mountains and endless forest.
On the first floor, 250 steps below the apartment you will find the world’s first ski museum. Discover more than 4,000 years of ski history and learn about the adventures of polar explorers, including Roald Amundsen.
After a day in the snow, leave your gear and take the lift up to your apartment at the very top of the Holmenkollen ski jump.
Right above you is the highest roof terrace in town, so you can do some serious stargazing as dinner is served. If you’re really lucky, you might even see the Northern Lights.
In the morning, breakfast will be served in the VIP lounge. So say you’re ready to check out, but find taking the lift a little too boring - no worries, there is an alternate exit. The zip line will give you a new perspective on things. What a fresh way to start the day!
The submission period for the Holmenkollen contest is already over, but if city promotions like this continue, we'll hopefully be seeing a whole slew of exciting, temporary Airbnb destinations: a night at the top of the Eiffel Tower, candlelight dinner inside the Statue of Liberty crown, brunch picnic below the Pantheon oculus.
