The Sunkar International Ski Jumping Complex(Kazakh: «Сұңқар» халықаралық шаңғы трамплиндер кешені, Russian: Международный Комплекс Лыжных Трамплинов “Сункар”) is a ski jumping venue located in the southern part of Almaty, Kazakhstan at an altitude of 900 metres above sea level. The complex was built in 2010 on the site of the old ski jumping complex. It is unique because it is located in a place where there is almost no wind.[1]

The complex consists of five ski-jumps: K-125, K-95, and the training ramps K-60, K-40 and K-20. Both artificial turf and snow can be used in every season. The complex also features a permanent multifunctional building with stands for 5,500 seats, a media press centre, a hotel, snowmaking and irrigation systems, a chairlift and underground car park, track and finish area for Nordic Combined, and a helipad.
