Designed by CF Møller Architects it will be located in Balsta - 45 minutes outside Stockholm and along with the slope there will also be a 3.5km indoor tunnel suitable for cross country skiing and other pretty pointless pursuits. Standing 135m high, it becomes one of Sweden's largest buildings.

It is planned to begin construction in 2013/14 and should take 2 years to build
