Villach HS68

In 1909 the first documented ski jumping competition took place at Villach-Möltschach. At that time winner was someone named Lutter from Graz with a respectable distance of 12 meters on a primitive ski hill on the Genottehöhe at guesthouse Tscheltschnig. In 1924, the 30-meter ski jumping hill at Möltschach was inagurated and immediately the jumping competition of the Austrian championships was held there. Jahnschanze was also hosting the Carinthian championships in 1930. In 1938-39 the ski jumping facility of Villach was completely remodelled and a 75- and a 50-meter hill were built. The inauguration was held with the NS winter games in February 1939 and attended by around 20,000 spectators.
