[4] On 12 April 12 1962, the promoting group was replaced by an executive committee, which was charged with approving the defined project, finding the financial resources (budgeted at 55 million liras) and contracting the construction work for the runway.

In total, the construction work amounted to 95.4 million liras, largely financed by contributions from the Aosta Valley Region, CONI and FISI.

The first test descent was performed by Italian champion Eugenio Monti (known as the "flying red"), who used the bobsled with which he won the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo: it was an immediate success, recognized by sportsmen and fans.

[4] In 1991 the Blue Lake bobsled track was included in Aosta's bid to organize the 1998 Winter Olympics (later awarded to the Japanese city of Nagano).

[8] In any case, the organizing committee then decided to build the new Olympic track at Cesana Pariol, which cost 110 million euros and then closed after six years.
