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.
In 1966 a hill record was set by Italian Bruno Da Col and Austrian Henrik Ohlmeyer who jumped 110.5 meters (363 ft). Italian ski jumper Giacomo Aimoni claimed he jumped 114 metres (374 ft) at training.[1][2]
