Innsbruck POV
In view of the 1976 Olympic Winter Games, the current artificial ice track was built on a historical terrain in 1973/74. This track was the first combined bob, luge and skeleton track worldwide and, thus, served as a model for future artificial ice tracks. During the following decades this facility has been continuously modernized and expanded. In 2004 the general refurbishment of the track, including the functional building, was completed and in 2011 the refrigerating plant and the related control system were modernized. Thanks to these design features, this track is still one of the most favored sliding sport facilities worldwide and continues to be used as a venue of major events.
