The Côte Feuillée stadium is a venue with ski jumping hills, located in Chaux-Neuve in the French department of Doubs, within the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
[7] In 1965, the municipality of Chaux-Neuve initiated a project to construct an Olympic-sized ski jump, which was supported by a grant from the Directorate of Youth and Sports.
[2][8][7] Two decades later, neighboring communes collaborated to construct the stadium, primarily in preparation for the 1990 Junior Nordic Ski World Championships [fr].
[9][2] The ski jump was constructed between 1989 and 1990 under the direction of architect Gérard Boucton,[2] at an approximate cost of 15 million francs.
[10] The ski jump was inaugurated in January 1990; however, the Junior World Championships were relocated due to insufficient snow in Chaux-Neuve.
[6] At one juncture, Chaux-Neuve was under consideration as a prospective venue for the ski jumping events of the 2020 Winter Youth Olympic Games.
[14] In 2018, the finish line of the Transjurassienne race was set at the base of the hill for the first time due to insufficient snowfall in Mouthe.
[25] In 1996, the stadium hosted its inaugural Nordic Combined World Cup event, which paid tribute to local athletes Fabrice Guy and Sylvain Guillaume.
[26] The event is held in high regard by numerous athletes, including Felix Gottwald, Mario Stecher, and Jason Lamy-Chappuis, who compares it to the "Alpe d'Huez of Nordic Combined.
[34] The organizers were required to attract a significant number of spectators to balance the event's budget and were concerned about the potential impact of a closed-door edition.
[35] In 2022, it was announced that the associations responsible for the World Cups in Chaux-Neuve and the Station des Rousses (cross-country skiing) would merge into Nordic Événements.
[38] In the wake of the 2024 World Cup's cancellation, the organizing committee has pivoted its focus to hosting races for the 2024 Summer Grand Prix.
[43][6] Summer competitions, including ski jumping and Nordic combined (on rollerskis), have been organized at the hill since its creation.
