Igls built this dug bob course in 1933 with help from the voluntary labour service. It used natural ice and hosted the two-man World Championship in 1935, when snowfall meant only the first day’s two runs counted; a Swiss crew driven by Reto Capadrutt won. A fatal crash occurred before the championship. This was a separate course from the concrete track built for the 1964 Olympics.
What remains of the run is not known.
