After World War II, the newly founded winter sports club Dorfgastein built the Bärentalschanze on the initiative of Willi Köstinger senior. The opening competition on March 13th, 1949 was marked by the Bavarian-Austrian competition with the duel between Rudi Gehring and Sepp Bradl. The following year, the ski jump was also part of the 2nd international winter sports weeks of Salzburg for the first time, alongside Bad Hofgastein, Zell am See and Bad Gastein. In 1961, the 60-meter ski jump was modified and enlarged again. It was the home hill of Willi Köstinger jr., who celebrated great national and international successes in Nordic combined between 1960 and 1966. Nordic National Championships were held there in 1951, 1957, 1963, and 1968.
