History:

After the Second World War, the Axams Ski Club, founded in 1928, increased its Nordic skiing activities and in the spring of 1954 started building its own ski jump. Ing. Payrl from St. Anton drew up the plan and on May 1st the earthworks began. On November 20th, 1954 the last works were carried out and so the ski jump with inrun tower and judges tower could be completed in time for the winter. The opening competition took place on January 2nd, 1955 with the participation of the Austrian national team.
In 1956 and 1958, the Tyrolean Nordic Ski Championships were held in Axams. However, the maintenance of the ski jump also cost a lot of work in the following summers because the slope had to be protected from slipping. Up to the winter of 1959/60, special and combined jumping competitions were regularly held on the Axam ski jumping hill. In May 1964, however, it was dismantled in the course of road construction to open up the Axamer Lizum. Today there is a small chapel at the former ski jump inrun.
