History:
The ski jump in Madonna di Campiglio was located in the Palù district, on a forested slope above the town. It was built around 1935 as a medium-sized hill constructed in a very simple way: a solid dry-stone retaining wall was erected at the base, above it an earthen inrun ramp and take-off area were shaped, and the landing hill followed the natural contour of the slope. The structure was typical of Italian ski jumps of the 1930s—almost entirely based on terrain and snow rather than wooden or metal frameworks.
In 1936 the hill became the venue for major sporting events. It hosted a nationwide gathering under the auspices of the Italian Winter Sports Federation, as well as the ski jumping competitions of the Italian Championships. In the same year, Olympic selection trials in slalom and ski jumping for the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Winter Games were also held in Madonna di Campiglio, as documented in contemporary newsreels. In the late 1930s and early 1940s the facility was repeatedly used for national winter sports events, including the Littoriali della neve e del ghiaccio and the Italian Championships. Surviving materials confirm that at the 8th Littoriali in 1939 the ski jumping event in Madonna di Campiglio was won by Longhini from Padua.
After World War II, the local focus shifted primarily toward alpine skiing, and ski jumping gradually lost its importance. The Palù hill eventually fell out of use and its profile became overgrown by forest. Nevertheless, the characteristic retaining wall and a fragment of the inrun ramp have survived to this day and, although partly hidden among the trees, remain clearly visible. The ruins of the ski jump can be viewed by following the “Via dei Fevri” trail, where informational panels describing the history of the site are also located.
