The Ski Jumping World Cup in Engelberg has been part of the Ski Jumping World Cup since the 1979/80 season . It is organized by the International Ski Association (FIS) and Engelberg-Titlis Veranstaltungs GmbH. The competitions take place on the HS 137 Gross-Titlis-Schanze and the natural hill is a five-minute walk from the village center at the foot of the Titlis . Shortly after Christmas, the Continental Cup jumping takes place at the same place .
history
From 1951 to 1991, the Swiss Ski Association (SSV) jumpers' tour was carried out. When the International Ski Association introduced the World Cup for the Engelberg ski jumping site in 1980, the competitions held in St. Moritz , Gstaad and Engelberg as part of the SSV jumpers' tour were also part of the World Cup. In 1984 there was no World Cup because the team world championship was held in Engelberg . From 1986 the SSV jumpers' tour was only held every two years. After 1991 it was over with the SSV jumpers' tour. From the 1994/95 season, one jumping will be held on two days.
In 2000, the two planned World Cup competitions had to be canceled due to lack of snow. In 2003 the competition had to be canceled on Sunday and in 2005 on Saturday due to heavy snowfall. In 2009 and 2010 the International Ski Federation asked if Engelberg could take on an additional competition because there was no snow in Harrachov to jump and it was not possible to produce machine-made snow due to the excessively high temperatures. Engelberg was ready for it and so three competitions took place over the weekend. The FIS decides annually at the calendar conference when the World Cup will be held. The natural hill was rebuilt between March 30th and October 2016 and a new floodlight system was installed at has so that night jumping can also be held after the conversion. The first night jumping took place on November 17, 2016. Since 2000, the World Cup has always been held in December, and because the size of the hill is similar to that of the Four Hills Tournament , it is the last big test.
