History:

It was a historic ski jumping hill of about 30 metres, built in 1915 as one of the first two ski jumps in Gérardmer – together with the Tremplin de la Grange Paveleuse. It was located on a slope in the area of today’s La Mauselaine ski resort.
The Tremplin du Biasot, together with the neighbouring “terrain de la Palveuse”, formed a large and popular skiing area. This is documented by numerous postcards from the 1930s, including the series “Les Vosges en hiver” bearing the caption “Terrain de la Palveuse et Tremplin du Biasot, skieurs, 1933”, which shows a wide clearing full of skiers with the ski jump visible in the background. Another postcard from 1931, titled “Les Luges au Tremplin du Biasot”, depicts sledging on the landing slope of the jump. These materials indicate that Biasot was used not only for ski jumping but also for recreational activities – by both skiers and sledders.
According to available accounts, already in 1915, during the local winter sports week, ski jumping competitions were held on both K30 hills: La Grange Paveleuse and du Biasot. Both facilities served as bases for the A.S. Gérardmer Ski Nordique club and formed an important element of the early history of ski jumping in the town.
Most likely in the second half of the 20th century, the Biasot hill fell out of use. In 2005, the small La Mauselaine (K15) hill was built in Gérardmer, and in 2009–2010 a modern ski jump, Bas-Rupts (K65 / HS 72), was constructed on another slope, becoming the town’s main ski jumping venue.
