History:
Located in the Catalan part of the Pyrenees, the ski resort of La Molina served for several decades as the informal capital of Spanish ski jumping. In the municipality of Alp, in the province of Girona, one of the most unusual ski jumping complexes in Southern Europe was built, consisting of three hills: Trampolín Albert Bofill Mosella (K75, formerly K70), the medium-sized Font Canaleta (K54) and the small Font Canaleta (K25). Today they are no longer in use, yet they still remind us of an ambitious, albeit short-lived, chapter in Spain’s ski jumping history.
The first jumping attempts in La Molina were recorded around 1912. At that time, a small natural slope was used, which gradually evolved into the first Font Canaleta jump. In the 1920s, ski jumping officially became a recognised sport in Spain – in 1929, Xavier Vilaró won the national championships held on this hill, later becoming a legend of Catalan skiing.
A breakthrough came in March 1934, when a new Font Canaleta was built. It was inaugurated with a spectacular jump by the Norwegian champion Sigmund Ruud, who reached 38 metres. Soon afterwards, the Spanish championships were held here again, once more won by Vilaró. It was a time when Spanish ski jumping aspired to become a firmly established discipline.
After the Spanish Civil War and World War II, ski facilities were not a priority for many years, yet La Molina as a resort developed dynamically – the country’s first ski lift and first ski school were built here. Ski jumping returned in 1958, when Font Canaleta resumed activity, and in 1973 a smaller training hill was constructed.
In the second half of the 1970s a decision was made to build a facility that met European jumping standards. Construction began in 1978 and led to the opening of a 70-metre hill in March 1979, later named Trampolín Albert Bofill Mosella. The hill – steel-framed, modern and with a full-sized profile – was among the most advanced in its region. The investment was meant not only to attract international competitions, but also to serve as a base for the emerging Spanish national team.
And indeed – successive generations of athletes trained in La Molina, supervised by foreign coaches including Willi Pürstl, winner of the Four Hills Tournament. The Spanish federation attempted to build a team capable of competing with Europe’s elite.
From 1979 to 1992 La Molina hosted the country’s most important event – the King’s Cup in ski jumping. Athletes from across Europe competed here, with results counted within the European competition circuit. During this period the hill also hosted Europa Cup competitions, national championships and international tournaments.
Among the most memorable victories were those of Norway’s Johan Sætre and Austria’s Werner Rathmayr, but the biggest hero for the local crowd was Bernat Solà Pujol – winner in 1984 and participant in the Sarajevo Olympic Games. It was Solà who set the hill record of 79 metres, which remained unbeaten until the end of the hill’s active life. Other athletes associated with La Molina include Miquel Puntí, record holder on Font Canaleta, and Josep Ignasi Rivera, who competed here during the discipline’s peak popularity.
In the 1980s it seemed Spain really might become a new ski jumping centre – athletes competed abroad and occasionally achieved decent results in the World Cup. However, a lack of structural support caused the project to fade. When Trampolín Albert Bofill Mosella was modernised in 1995, adding plastic matting and shifting the K-point to 75 metres, ski jumping in Spain had practically ceased to exist. The national team was dissolved, and the hill – despite being in excellent technical condition – stopped being used for its intended purpose.
Today the jumps stand silent, yet they remain visible in the resort landscape – the steel inrun tower, the spectator stands, the landing slope profile, and the memories of those who once trained there. Historical photographs – both archival and contemporary – show that the site has become a kind of monument to ski jumping in Spain. From time to time former athletes gather there to reminisce about the sport’s heyday.

Ja planuje, jak skończę tłumaczenia tekstów, że każdy artykuł opatrzę nowymi zdjęciami, albo takimi jakie mam w swoim archiwum, a mam ich tam sporo, niepublikowanych. Jak dobrze poszukam to i popytam jeszcze coś się znajdzie, ale to dopiero we wakacje gdzieś.
This was five years ago...
So it should be even worse now!
.
są gdzieś jakieś aktualne zdjęcia ? ciekawe jak to teraz wygląda bo raczej nie tak jak pokazują to obrazki.
