In 1907 people in the Engadin started building the Berninaschanze which was opened officially in winter 1912 as a 40 meter hill.
In the 1920’s the decision was made to a new larger ski jump on the left side of Roseg Valley which should make jumps on up to 80 metres possible. In 1925 the Skiclub Pontresina opened the new facility with an international competition. Also in the following years many great events took place and in some winters up to 4 competitions were held. At that time the international competitions in Pontresina were leading ones in Europe according to the jumpers who took part in. In 1928 the Swiss Bruno Trojani was the first ski jumper in Europe to jump more than 70 metres. Even a world record was performed by Adolf Badrutt with 75 m in 1930.
In 1948 the last competition took place on Berninaschanze. After World War II the 40 meter ski jumping hill situated above the train station was still in use until 1960’s.
