Airolo in the canton of Ticino is one of the oldest ski centres in southern Switzerland. The first skis appeared here already at the end of the 19th century, and in 1904 the local ski club, Sci Club Airolo, was founded – one of the earliest in the country. Thanks to its location at the foot of the Saint Gotthard Pass, the town quickly developed into a winter sports centre, and in the 1920s ski jumping also began to be practised here.
In 1926 the first known ski jumping hill in Airolo, referred to as Trampolino di Raviroi, was built.
In the mid-1930s a second professional hill was constructed in Airolo, mentioned in local accounts and museum materials as the successor to Raviroi – Ticino. The sources do not provide its name or technical details, but they suggest it had a comparable importance to Raviroi and marked the end of the active ski-jumping era in the town.
There was probably also a smaller hill in the Lüina area dating back to the early 20th century, although no information about it has been preserved.
Although the ski-jumping tradition in Airolo faded already in the first half of the 20th century, the town maintained a strong role in winter sports. Today it hosts a centre specialising in alpine skiing and freestyle, organising high-level competitions.
