Vikkollen (Vikkollbakken, originally written Wikkollen) was a ski jump in Mjøndalen in Buskerud, owned by Mjøndalen IF. The hill was at the farm of Bothnia, just south of Mjøndalen center. It was the venue for the Championship in particular jump in 1960 and combined jump in 1946. Reidar Amble Ommundsen (Norway) set a world record in Vikkollen with 54 meters on 7 February 1915.
The hill was built in 1912 and was officially opened on 28 March 1914. The first record was 38 meters. After the world record jump in 1915, it set new ground records, and Reidar Andersen jumped 67 meters in 1933, the year before ground was rebuilt.
Vikkollen should have been championship arena in 1941, but the championship was cancelled because of the sport strike during the World War II.
The ground was rebuilt again in 1950, the year after Erling hook improved the hill record to 86 meters. After yet another modification, the national ski jumping championships in 1960 were held in Vikkollen. Ole Tom Nord was the Norwegian champion. In March 1960, the last hill record of 86.5 meters was set by the Finnish Paavo Lukkariniemi in a Nordic race.
The last race in Vikkollen was held in 1963, and three years later, the scaffolding collapsed.
