The story

Bludenz in Vorarlberg has a refrigerated track on a hillside that carried a natural-ice run from 1967. It is short and gentle by World Cup standards, with six curves and separate starts for luge, bobsleigh and skeleton. It was built for young sliders and visitors. In 2023 it hosted the junior luge World Championships, bringing international racing back to Hinterplärsch.

  • It hosted the junior luge World Championships in 2023.
  • It replaced a natural-ice run that had used the same site since 1967.
  • The track has separate starts for luge, bobsleigh and skeleton.
