Course
A very demanding downhill course, it was built for the World Championships of 2001, originally intended for men's events. It hosted World Cup super-G events a year earlier in February 2000, both for men. Since the 2008 season, only women's events have been run on this course and irregularly; at first every third year and lately in alternating years.[1][2][3]
At the "Eisfall" section, the course has a maximum incline of 78% (38 degrees).
