The Hahnenkamm slalom took place for the first time on the Ganslern in 1937. Even before the introduction of the World Cup in 1967 it was one of the annual fixtures in FIS's racing calendar. In the years 1964, 1988 and 1993 the slalom had to be cancelled. In 1998 there was - as in 1971 - an additional slalom in Kitzbühel. However, due to the snow situation the two races that year had to be carried out on a different route, running down the so-called Vorderganslern and the finish straight of the downhill run into its finishing arena. In 2007 and 2008 this route was chosen again due to the high number of spectators. In 2009 it returned again to the traditional Ganslernhang course.
