Autrans 2010 HS92

When the decision about the locations of the ski jumping events of the Olympic Games in Grenoble 1968 had to be made, it was clear from the beginning that the 70 meter normal hill should be build at Autrans in the "Le Claret" area, since it was a traditional site and also the cross-country events should be staged there. In summer 1965 the works started and the natural hill "Le Claret" was enlarged into a K70 normal hill and space was created for 40,000 spectators. Already in 1966 the French Championships could be held there. The normal hill title of 1968 was won by Czech favorite Jiří Raška in a difficult competition. With Jacques Gaillard even a local hero competed in the Nordic Combined event. Another tournament held here were the European Junior's in 1974. The ski jumping facility was further increased and so there are three plastic covered junior hills beside K90 today. Since 2010 the K90 is sadly out of order and with each year it's taken more and more by the nature.
