Polana Jakuszycka - Dolnośląskie Centrum Sportu

What Polana Jakuszycka - Dolnośląskie Centrum Sportu does

Polana Jakuszycka — Dolnośląskie Centrum Sportu is a publicly financed, multi-purpose winter-sports and biathlon facility located in Jakuszyce, Szklarska Poręba, in Poland's Jizera Mountains at 884 metres above sea level. It opened in September 2022 and is operated by Dolnośląski Park Innowacji i Nauki Spółka Akcyjna (DPIN S.A.), a joint-stock company headquartered in Wrocław that was co-financed by the Polish Minister of Sport and Tourism through the Fund for the Development of Physical Culture (FRKF). The centre is the only facility in Poland licensed by the International Biathlon Union (IBU) to host international biathlon competitions, and it serves a hybrid mix of elite athletes, national federations, sports clubs, youth and para-athletes, corporate groups, and individual tourists.

The core product is the Sports Centre (Centrum Sportu), which combines a 30-lane IBU-compliant electronic biathlon shooting range (50 m track), approximately 2,000 m of asphalt roller tracks, a ski bridge with integrated equipment storage, gyms with hypoxic (low-oxygen) and hyperoxic (high-oxygen) rooms for altitude training, a multi-sport hall with climbing wall, and an artificial-turf field with running track. Around this core, the resort layers modular add-ons: 4-star resort rooms and multi-bed hostel rooms (~200+ beds total), a wellness zone with 17 m pool, sauna and brine graduation tower, two F&B concepts (Restauracja Jakuszycka and Bistro Cafe Julianka), 5 conference rooms (up to 550 attendees), underground parking with EV chargers, and a 700 m² Interactive Sports Centre with five simulator stations. 90 km of cross-country and cycling trails are managed in partnership with the Bieg Piastów association.

Revenue is generated from a diversified set of streams: accommodation bookings (resort and hostel), sports facility access for training camps and individual athletes, equipment rental via on-site partner Grabek Sport (Rossignol-branded), locker rental (94 ski-room and 31 changing-room lockers), wellness/spa access, à la carte and pay-by-weight buffet F&B, corporate packages, and event hosting (BIKE FEST, Gravel Adventure UCI World Series, Bike Maraton, IBU Junior Cup, IBU Para Biathlon World Cup 2026). Distribution is direct — website booking, on-site reception, and contact-based corporate sales — with no third-party resellers. Marketing combines a multilingual website (Polish/English/Czech), social media, event sponsorship, and partnerships with regional tourism bodies (Lower Silesia, Szklarska Poręba) and transport providers (Koleje Dolnośląskie, Wrocław Airport).
