Denmark to become home to 'world's largest' ski dome facility

Denmark could become home to what is being billed as the world’s largest ski dome facility, with plans being generated for a Skidome Denmark project to be based in the city of Randers.

Architectural firm CEBRA has designed the structure for ski travel agency Danski, with the facility potentially housing three kilometres of slopes arching over a river.

Designed in the shape of a six-arched snowflake, the Skidome would house six indoor slopes and two outdoor runs based over three centrally connected arches.

The project’s slopes have been designed based on the popular pistes of the Alpe d’Huez ski resort in France, however the facility could make alterations to the runs to enable visitors to share a different experience each time they visit.

Users of the facility would be treated to views of the Danish countryside through perforated walls, which allow natural light from the surrounding area onto the indoor slopes.

Not only do the venue's plans cater for winter sport enthusiasts, but there are also suggestions for an area to feature skateboarding and BMX facilities – alongside a freestyle park – while other ideas include a green-space park potentially located on one of the facility’s arches.

The conceptual designs for the 100,000sq m (1,076,391sq ft) venue could also lean towards the addition of a hotel, restaurant, shops and other sports and recreation facilities.
