History

The Trampolino Gigante Corno d’Aola hill was built in 1928. The hill was the main tourist attraction until it stopped operating and later destroyed. In 1935 Fritz Kainersdörfer from Switzerland jumped 99.5 meters and set the only world record on this hill. It was also first ski jumping hill in Italy where 100 m jump was realized. Bruno Da Col was the man who made it. He later received a golden medal for his achievements by Benito Mussolini.

Hill record was in 1966 set by Italian ski jumper Giacomo Aimoni who jumped 109 meters (358 ft).
