Garmisch-Partenkirchen has been the venue for the traditional Arlberg-Kandahar races since 1954 . The Gudiberg was used for the first time as part of the Alpine Ski World Cup in 1974 for a men's slalom, which Christian Neureuther won. In the Alpine World Ski Championships 1978 were Lea Sölkner and Ingemar Stenmark on the Gudiberg world champion in slalom.
In 2007, after renovation work, the slalom route was extended and diverted to the ski jump destination stadium. In 2010 the slaloms of the World Cup final took place on the Gudiberg. A separate, provisional grandstand was built just above the jumping stadium for the 2011 World Championships . In return, the start was moved ten meters upwards. The gold medals in the slalom went to Marlies Schild and Jean-Baptiste Grange .
