She said: 'This is a wonderfully quirky idea coming to life, and a perfect way to round off the ski jump season after the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup.

'It's a great way to showcase one of the top tourist destinations in Norway to a world of travellers, and we can't wait to welcome the guests to arguably the penthouse with the best view of our city.'

The ski jump was officially opened on March 3, 2010. The start house soars around 64 meters (210ft) above the ground and the construction comprises of 100 tons of steel.
