History:
With the founding of WSV Andelsbuch in 1925 Nordic skiing was established in the
town in Vorarlberg. In 1928 the very first ski jumping competition was held on Bezeggschanze, not far from today’s ski jump.
After sports were completely laying down during World War II, in 1947 the new Wälderschanze was constructed according to plans of
In 1970 the first larger conversion was
done and during national championships in the following year Reinhold Bachler and Franz Saalhof jumped
73.0 m. At ÖM 1975 8,000 spectators watched a new hill record of 77.5 m
performed by Hans Millonig.
In middle 1980’s a complete
new-construction of Wälderschanze had to be done. At
the opening of the new K85 hill with an Alps Cup competition of Nordic Combined
in 1990, Jens Deimel jumped 89.0 m.

For the 75th anniversary of the ski club in
2000 the Austrian Championships and a World Cup “B” of Nordic Combined were
hosted on Wälderschanze. A floodlight competition in
2003 was the last larger event held on the jump. The further development of the
ski jumping hill is very insecure, but the enlargement into a 100 meter hill,
as well as the construction of additional youth hills is discussed. In October
2007 even the judge’s tower burned down.
