What people say

"CopenHill is a unique place to grab a drink or do sports. You can do downhill skiing or snowboarding on the artificial grass slope, or climb up the highest climbing wall in the world! The rooftop and café are open free of charge. Do keep in mind that the café is outside (although there is some cover against rain). At 78 metres, there's a phenomenal view -- not a bad place to have a drink. At the bottom of the hill, there's another café that's open users of the ski slope only. In terms of skiing and snowboarding, there's a range of options to choose from. You can go by yourself, book a lesson, or even practice slalom. In any case, you'll need to make a reservation beforehand. The reason this activity is placed under the "go for a walk" section is because you can indeed walk up CopenHill. There are inclines between 5 and a very challenging 35%. Definitely not made for couch patatoes! Climbing up CopenHill is only possible when you're a certified, experienced climber. If you are, you can enjoy one of four routes all the way up to the top. So why does CopenHill (also called Amager Bakke or Amager Slope) exist? Well, it's actually an energy plant that turns waste into heat. CopenHill is even claimed to be the cleanest incinerator in the world, as it emits water vapour instead of smoke, amongst other things. In any case, it's a one-of-a-kind building and a multifunctional landmark not too far from the city centre. What activity on CopenHill would you pick?"
"CopenHill, a revolutionary project in Copenhagen, combines a futuristic ski slope and recreational hill atop a cutting-edge resource handling center. This innovative marvel, opened in fall 2019, sits atop the Amager Resource Center (ARC), which began operations in 2017. Dubbed Copenhagen's first ski destination, CopenHill offers skiing and snowboarding experiences. Visitors can either bring their own gear or rent equipment from the local shop, Steep and Deep. After a thrilling day on the slopes, guests can unwind at CopenHill's café and après-ski bar. For those less inclined toward skiing, a scenic hiking trail spans the roof of CopenHill. Additionally, the site boasts the world's tallest climbing wall at 85 meters, providing a challenge for certified climbers. Beyond its recreational offerings, CopenHill represents an innovative and sustainable approach to urban resource management. Its playful design and incorporation of a ski slope redefine traditional waste-to-energy plants, aligning with Copenhagen's goal of becoming the world's first carbon-neutral capital."
"This big grey sloping building is Amager Bakke, also called CopenHill. CopenHill links a new waste incineration plant from March 2017, which efficiently and safely converts residual waste into district heating and electricity, with an artificial ski slope, walking trails and many more outdoor activities on its roof, which opened in October 2019. In addition, the world's tallest climbing wall at 85 meters is mounted on one side of the incineration plant and it has 10 different routes to the top (you have to be an experienced climber to try it out). You can visit both the incineration plant and the rooftop. Walking on the roof is free but skiing (NOT including rent of equipment) is about €27 per hour. There's also a rooftop bar where event are held such as concerts and treasure hunts. Opening hours for WALKING GUESTS and the ROOFTOP CAFE: Mon: 12pm to 5pm Tue-fri: 12pm to 6pm Sat: 10am to 6pm Sun: 10am to 5pm Opening hours for SKIING and SLEDDGING: Mon: CLOSED Tue-fri: 2pm to 7pm Sat: 10am to 7pm Sun: 10am to 5pm "
