Welcome in Harrachov

The World Cup in Harrachov Cancelled Due to Bad Weather Conditions

4.12.2009

The World Cup in Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined in Harrachov, 11. 12. – 13. 12. 2009 had to be cancelled because of bad weather conditions.

Harrachov organizers have done their best to hold the competitions of the World Cup in ski dumping and Nordic combined in the given term. Regarding organizational and technical matters, everything have been prepared, however bad weather conditions did not help us to produce artificial snow.

Since Thursday early morning we had been trying to produce artificial snow, however the suitable temperatures were only temporary. Even on the places where the temperatures reached 5 degrees Celsius below zero, the snow production was very low.

The weather forecast is not any better for further days and that is why we were compelled to cancel the competitions, even though we put all the effort for their preparation.

“Čerťák“ lighted up

20.11.2009

After many months of preparation and the actual building, a symbolic end to the reconstruction of artificial lighting of the complex of big ski jumps in Harrachov was made. This happened on Wednesday, 18th November 2009, when testing of new lighting successfully met expectations. The whole Čerťák was illuminated for several hours and citizens as well as visitors to this mountain resort for the first time experienced a view which will be seen during the evening organisation of the World Cup competitions in ski jumping and in Nordic Combination, i.e. on 11th to 13th December 2009.
