History:

The ski jump in Tracchi was built as part of the developing winter sports infrastructure of the upper Lessinia region and was officially opened on 1 February 1929, together with the “Generale Cantore” lodge, which at the time served as the centre of winter activities around Bosco Chiesanuova. The inauguration was accompanied by a major skiing event widely advertised throughout Italy, attracting hundreds of visitors. In the interwar period, Tracchi became one of the most important winter sports locations in the region and hosted various competitions, including the national cross-country race “Trofeo Tracchi” in 1930 and events that also featured ski jumping. The ski jump appears in numerous contemporary reports, posters and films as a permanent element of Lessinia’s sporting life. After World War II the structure was still standing, and in the 1950s and 1960s it was remembered as a distinctive stone-built construction visible from the road towards San Giorgio, although its sporting use had already become very limited. The ski jump retained its shape at least until the early 1960s, after which it fell into complete ruin. The impressive stone take-off and traces of the former inrun, visible in recent photos, remain to this day.
