History:
The Ski Club Allalin was founded in 1908 as the first one in Upper Valais. The ski club was named after 4027 m high Allalinhorn looming over Saas-Fee, from which the world’s highest downhill ski race took place twice in 1946 and 1954 with a length of 9 km and a height difference of 2227 m.
In 1913, the jumps were around 20 meters long on the first ski jumping hill at Bifig. From 1938 onwards, the ski jumping hills at Mischi were then developed. The 28-meter ski jump was first set up in 1938 and two years later another 42-meter jump was constructed beside. From 1941 to mid-1950s, the larger Mischabelschanze was well-frequented for competitions.
Worth mentioning is also the fact that glacier village Saas-Fee was not connected by a car route until 1951 and could only be reached with a one-hour-long march from Saas-Grund by foot. Consequently, tourism was very restricted, but nevertheless, there were several strong athletes in all winter sports disciplines.
In 1962, the first night-competitions were held on Mischi-Schanzen.
In the seventies, only one jumping hill was still existing at Mischi, which was modernized with a steel-made inrun construction and new-profiled into K48 in 1977. However, already in 1984-85 ski jumping activities ended, and in 2001 it was demolished. Since then, alpine skiing has been dominating in Saas-Fee with annual Allalin races being organized by the ski club.
