In October 1924 the newly founded WSV Windischgarsten began with the construction of the ski jumps at Gunstberg, which were planned by skiing pioneer Sepp Bildstein. Already by Christmas the 50-meter hill with wooden inrun, take-off and knoll structure and the 20-meter junior hill were completed. The inauguration was celebrated with a tri-state championship competition on February 1, 1925, which was attended by 3,000 spectators. The longest jump was landed by Peter Radacher from Mühlbach with 45.5 meters. Many competitions took place on Gunstschanze until late 1930s.
After World War II this ski jumping facility was in desolate condition and reconstructed in 1948. However, in order to be able to host the Austrian ski championships in 1951, in May 1949 the construction of an 80-meter hill at Garstnereck started. The Austrian Championships were then successfully hosted on the new K70 hill and on Gunstschanze (Combined jumping).
Today, the former ski jumping facilities of Windischgarsten are all dilapidated and hardly recognizable.
