Harrachov is a Czech town situated near the border with Poland, and the history of ski jumping is about to enter a whole new chapter! The ski jump in Harrachov, which had once been hosting ski jumping competitions, was dilapidated by that time. Now, work is underway to turn the facility into the world’s largest large-hill ski jump. Construction will get underway as early as July 1 in a landmark for the sport and for the many, many enthusiastic fans across the region.
Project HS 162 Set to Get Underway
The construction includes the conversion of the Harrachov existing ski jumping hill to the new HS 162. It won’t be an entirely new build, but the modernized version will serve as one of a kind around the world, a jump that bridges the gap between regular large hills and monster ski flying hills. Czech ski jumping officials say the reconstruction will be relatively easy because the original tower will be left standing. This style of remodeling is also perfect for the natural slope of the hill. The investment is worth over 8 million PLN.
The Czech ski jumping team’s sports director, Filip Sakala, confirmed the timeline and told reporters that the aim was to get the work done by the end of winter. If it does, ski jumpers could be training or competing on the new hill shortly after.
Prayer for International Competitions
Organizers see the renovated venue as something to build on. And if everything goes as planned, in the 2026/27 season Harrachov would organise Continental Cup competitions. The ultimate dream is to someday bring the World Cup back to this historic venue. The town has a rich history of the sport, including hosting the Ski Flying World Championships in the past. The most recent of those came in 2014 when Severin Freund took gold, backed up by Anders Bardal and Peter Prevc.
And already smaller hops in the area are beginning to see new life. A national championship was just held on the HS 100 hill and Roman Koudelka reportedly won the Czech National Title.
With July’s deadline racing closer, ski jumping fans — particularly in Poland — are keen to see Harrachov stand up, dust itself down, and get back in the international media.
