History

From 1931 'till 1936 it was held on nearby courses "Hahnenkamm" and "Ehrenbachhöhe". Since premiere in 1937, The Hahnenkamm slalom is held on this course (Ganslern).

In 1954, one time exceptionally no Hahnenkamm Trophy was awarded, they were competing on the so-called "Vorderganslern" at Austrian International Winter Sports III competition.

Even before the introduction of the World Cup in 1967 it was one of the annual fixtures in FIS's racing calendar. In 1964, 1988 and 1993 the slaloms were cancelled and replaced elsewhere.

In 1971 downhill was cancelled and replaced with giant slalom which for the first and last time together with slalom counted for classic Hahnenkamm combined. An additional SL was also held.

In 1998 and 2007 additional slaloms were held on this course, replacing other cancelled venues on the so-called "Vorderganslern" to the finish line of the "Streif".[1]

In 2007 and 2008 this route was chosen again due to the high number of spectators. In 2009 it returned again to the traditional Ganslernhang course.

Course

The slope has numerous changes of terrain and lies at an oblique angle making it one of, if not the hardest and most challenging slalom course in the World Cup, located next to the final straight of the Streif.

It has its own finishing arena. The name "Ganslernhang" comes from a farmstead that stood there until 1993 and took its name from a stream, the Gänsbach, which flowed past it.

In 2009, before relatively short course, was lengthened by moving start higher up in the hill, at the same time new lift was built, with more comfortable standing area.

Club5+

In 1986, elite Club5 was originally founded by prestigius classic downhill organizers: Kitzbühel, Wengen, Garmisch, Val d’Isère and Val Gardena/Gröden, with goal to bring alpine ski sport on the highest levels possible.[4]

Later over the years other classic longterm organizers joined the now named Club5+: Alta Badia, Cortina, Kranjska Gora, Maribor, Lake Louise, Schladming, Adelboden, Kvitfjell, St.Moritz and Åre.[5]
