History:

The Trampolino di Claviere is a now-disused complex of two winter ski jumping hills located above the village of Claviere in the upper Val di Susa, close to the French border, historically belonging to the Sci Club Claviere.
The first ski jump in Claviere was built in 1924 on the initiative of the Sci Club Torino and, already in the 1920s, became one of the most important Italian venues for ski jumping. International competitions were held here regularly, including the Trofeo Enrico Moiso and the Trofeo Gancia, which attracted athletes from many European countries. From that period, archival event posters and film chronicles documenting competitions held in the presence of members of the royal court have been preserved. In the results of Italian ski jumpers of the era, such as Mario Bonomo, Bruno Da Col or Luciano Zampatti, Claviere appears repeatedly as the site of significant performances. The period of intense activity on the hill came to an end around 1936.
After the war, ski jumping activity in Claviere practically disappeared, and the local club focused primarily on alpine skiing. The idea of reviving the ski jump returned in the mid-1960s, when Claviere was chosen as the main venue for the Nordic competitions of the 1966 Winter Universiade. As a result, the facility was completely rebuilt. It was on this hill that the ski jumping event was held, won by Japan’s Yukio Kasaya, later an Olympic champion in Sapporo, ahead of, among others, Andrzej Sztolf of Poland and Takashi Fujisawa. Part of the Nordic combined competitions also took place in Claviere. This was the last major international moment in the history of the hill.
Another reconstruction took place only in 2005–2006, in connection with the region’s preparations for the Turin Winter Olympics. Although the Olympic competitions themselves were held in Pragelato, Claviere served as a training and backup center for alpine and cross-country skiing. As part of a broader investment program, the historic ski jump was renovated, equipped with new lighting, and the surrounding infrastructure was modernized, with the facility being reopened in 2007.
After that date, ski jumping activity ceased, and in the following years Claviere has appeared exclusively as a center for alpine and cross-country skiing.
