1st Vitranc Cup (1961)

On 4 March 1961, giant slalom with only one run, was held as Vitranc Cup premiere event. Start was at the top of the Vitranc mountain (1,552 m) and with finish line at "Bukovnik meadow" (1,035 m).[3][4][5][6]

The upper part of the course was extremely steep and dangerous, brutal demanding and also known as "hara-kiri with accelaration". That's why it was never used again and moved lower ever since.
