Age 12-15. Intended to develop U16 racers into self-organised athletes that can perform in their level of racing. Ski training will focus on reinforcing and further developing their technical and tactical skills with fun and stimulating sessions. Great off-skiing activity program.

Yoga in Saas Fee

We have included activation and recovery as part of our training to help athletes prepare their bodies for movement and recover properly after intense sessions. It is an effective way to activate key muscle groups, improve mobility, and support the body after a long day of training. It also helps athletes reset mentally and physically for full recovery.

Activation and recovery sessions allow our athletes to work on physical readiness, improve movement quality, and support muscle repair and regeneration. These sessions are highly recommended to reduce injury risk and improve overall performance. Our coaches adapt the exercises, intensity, and duration of each session to match different skill levels and age groups.

Ski camp europe training

All athletes taking part in our training program will participate in fitness workouts throughout the week. These sessions are always age‑appropriate and tailored to the individual condition and needs of each athlete. The workouts are designed to be challenging and demanding, while also fun and creative.

These post‑ski fitness sessions focus on recovery from on‑snow training and on reducing the risk of injury. They also aim to improve overall strength, coordination, balance, agility, and flexibility.

Saas‑Fee provides an ideal environment for a wide range of fitness activities and physical training. During these sessions, athletes in private training will join other athletes of a similar age to train together.

ski camp europe hiking

Team sports, mountain treks, and indoor activities will be part of the program during afternoons and non-skiing days. Saas-Fee offers an ideal environment for a wide range of outdoor and indoor sports, as well as physical training. With well-marked paths suitable for all ages and skill levels, modern sports facilities, and dedicated fields for team sports, Saas-Fee provides excellent conditions for varied and engaging activities in any weather.

ski camp europe bouldering

BOULDERING:
Bouldering in the Swiss Alps during the summer is an exciting and challenging outdoor activity. The alpine terrain offers a variety of rocks and boulder formations that test the skills and endurance of climbers. The breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys are an added bonus. Whether you’re a seasoned climber or just starting out, the Swiss Alps provide a unique and unforgettable experience for all levels of bouldering enthusiasts.

ROLLERBLADING:
Rollerblading improves your skiing in several ways. Both activities require similar skills such as balance, coordination, and control. It will help develop your leg strength, agility, and endurance, which are all important for skiing. Additionally, the repetitive motions of rollerblading can help improve your muscle memory and reaction time, making it easier to adjust to the demands of skiing.

BALANCE:
Balance is a crucial component in ski racing. A skier’s ability to maintain a stable position and adjust to changing terrain is critical in alpine skiing. Not only does good balance provide better control and precision, it also helps reduce the risk of injury. In ski racing, every fraction of a second counts, and working on your balance through targeted exercises can make all the difference in your results. Ski Zenit’s program helps ski racers improve their balance, increase stability, and achieve their goals on the mountain.

Taking good care of ski bases and edges is a must in order to perform during ski training. Every afternoon racers age 12 and older will learn and carry out all the necessary tuning of their skis with the help of the trainers, who will also take care of younger athletes’ skis.

ski camp europe video-analysis

Video analysis is an important tool for our coaches to help racers understand and improve the areas they are trying to develop while ski training. Technical and tactical concepts that are important to performance will be well explained during these sessions so that they are clear for next day’s training. One session of video analysis will be done after every 2 or 3 days of training.

Children and adolescents who are not accompanied by their parents will have round-the-clock supervision from our camp leaders. Our philosophy is to give children freedom in exchange for showing responsibility. Saas-Fee is an ideal location for this. From September to November, afternoon study times will be set aside for school-aged racers as needed.

Ski Zenit Hotel supervisors are available to receive phone calls every day between 7 pm and 8:30 pm at the phone number that will be provided on arrival to the camp.
