The core of the facility is a unique 1.5-kilometer asphalt loop carved into the terrain. It is 3.7 to 6 meters wide and is primarily intended for roller skiing. However, it can also be used for inline skating or scootering. A gravel running trail runs alongside it. The facility is complemented by lighting, amenities for biathletes, and spaces for the general public, including locker rooms, an administrative building, and necessary storage areas.

“The seemingly simple construction of biathlon tracks turned out to be a major challenge, particularly in terms of the feasibility of laying the structural and asphalt layers. This was due to the extreme longitudinal and transverse slopes, which even experienced machine operators found daunting. In some places, on slopes with a gradient exceeding 25 percent, we were practically at the limit of what construction machinery could handle, and even transporting the material to those areas was often a major challenge. “In total, we moved over 25,000 cubic meters of soil here. We managed the construction, and I think the result is brilliant,” says site manager Tomáš Juřica, reflecting on the extraordinary project.

The project also included the construction of gabion retaining walls, the reinforcement of forest roads, and 125 meters of access road. Fifty-nine modern LED lights have also been installed to provide lighting during the months when it gets dark early.
