The altitude, characteristics and snow conditions alone set it apart from other glaciers. This, together with the variety of terrain available, makes it second to none for training purposes. The car-free village promotes a very healthy lifestyle and provides everything needed for optimal condition training and activities on off-snow days. These are just some of the reasons why the top athletes in the world do their Summer Ski Camp pre-season preparation in Saas-Fee.

Ski Racer Zenit Summer

Sessions include free-skiing drills that focus on edge control, balance, body position, and pressure management to improve overall technique. Athletes training with us will work on GS and SL courses. Drill difficulty, intensity, and run volume are adjusted to each athlete’s level so they develop safely and maintain race sharpness.

Saas‑Fee is ideal for this work. Its high‑altitude glacier provides consistent, well-prepared snow throughout summer and autumn, giving athletes reliable conditions for repeatable practice. The area offers a mix of technical slopes and longer, faster runs, allowing coaches to switch easily between slalom-style drills and GS speed work.

ski camp europe video-analysis

Video analysis is an important tool for our coaches to help racers understand and improve the areas they are developing during ski training. Technical and tactical concepts relevant to performance are clearly explained during these sessions so they are ready for the next day’s training. In our Masters program, we offer two video sessions per week: one for GS and one for SL.

ski camp europe ski tuning

Taking good care of ski bases and edges is essential for performing well during ski training. We offer a complimentary ski-tuning session at our camp to teach and master tuning techniques. We expect master racers to arrive with their equipment in good condition so they can get the most out of their on-snow training sessions.

ski camp europe hiking

HIKING:
Saas‑Fee offers a variety of outstanding and challenging hikes that are perfect for adventurous adults. Whatever the weather, we can choose from multiple routes: longer, more strenuous treks that test endurance and reward you with expansive mountain panoramas, or shorter trails that lead closer to the glacier for dramatic ice views without a full-day commitment. Guided options and clear trail networks make it easy to match the route to fitness level and interest.

BOULDERING:
Bouldering in the Swiss Alps during the summer is an exciting and challenging outdoor activity for adults. The alpine terrain offers a variety of rock and boulder formations that test strength, technique, and endurance. Breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys enhance the experience. Whether you’re an experienced climber or an adult beginner building confidence and fitness, Saas‑Fee provides a unique and memorable setting for bouldering enthusiasts of all levels.

BALANCE:
Balance is a crucial component for ski racers. A skier’s ability to maintain a stable position and adjust to changing terrain is critical in alpine skiing. Good balance provides better control and precision and helps reduce the risk of injury—especially important for adults. In ski racing, every fraction of a second counts, and targeted balance exercises can improve stability and performance. Ski Zenit’s program helps adult ski racers enhance balance, increase stability, and achieve their goals on the mountain.

Optional activities available on demand for an additional fee:

Yoga in Ski Zenit

Activation and recovery sessions are available for our master athletes to prepare their bodies for movement and to recover properly after intense workouts. They effectively activate key muscle groups, improve mobility, and support the body after a long day of training. They also help athletes reset mentally and physically for full recovery.

These sessions let our master athletes improve physical readiness, enhance movement quality, and support muscle repair and regeneration. They are highly recommended to reduce injury risk and boost overall performance. Our coaches adapt the exercises, intensity, and duration of each session to suit different skill levels.

Ski camp europe training

Our fitness sessions for master athletes are always age-appropriate and tailored to each athlete’s condition and needs. The workouts are challenging and demanding while remaining fun and creative. These post-ski fitness sessions focus on recovery from on-snow training and on reducing injury risk. They also aim to improve overall strength, coordination, balance, agility, and flexibility.

THE TOWN: Saas-Fee is a pedestrian-only town where only certain electric vehicles are allowed. The atmosphere is very serene, clean, and the town is surrounded by an impressive landscape of forests and glaciers with peaks reaching 4400 metres. It has all necessary services and a wide range of sports facilities. These safe and relaxed conditions make it an ideal place for any athlete to enjoy and have productive training.

THE GLACIER: The Saas-Fee glacier, where the camps are held, is at an altitude of between 3200 and 3600 metres. It has four T-bar drag lifts providing access to 3 free skiing runs and 5 gate training runs. In order to access the glacier in summertime, you must take two cable cars and an underground funicular train. The trip takes a total of 35 minutes.

In a normal year, the vertical skiable area increases by 700 metres by the beginning of November adding many more skiing options.

Weather conditions can vary quite drastically, even during the summer, and we therefore recommend that you pack clothing for both warm and cold conditions.

All athletes participating in the Camp must have current ski accident insurance valid in Switzerland covering at least civil liability, rescue on the slopes (including helicopter), medical treatment and repatriation. We recommend insurance which also reimburses you for services unused due to injury (ski pass, training, lodging, etc.).

Photocopies of participants’ insurance card must be given to Ski Zenit leaders upon arrival or a digital copy can be sent ahead of time.

Switzerland has agreements with EU Member States for medical assistance at public hospitals. In order to take advantage of such agreements, you must have the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). You need to apply for this card well in advance at your local medical centre in the EU.

We offer single, double, triple and quadruple bedrooms, all with a private bathroom. The hotel is a 1 minute walk from the town centre and 5 minute to the lift (cable car).

The hotel has a restaurant, refreshment bar, living room, wi-fi and a ski room. Rooms are cleaned and sheets and towels changed once per week. Each athlete is responsible for keeping his/her room tidy at all times. The beds have Nordic comforters so bed-making is fast and simple. Towels are included.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are prepared by the hotel staff. Any special dietary needs must be communicated to Ski Zenit in advance.

Collaboration among all participants and teamwork are requirements for successful co-existence in the Hotel.

Switzerland is a member of the Schengen Area meaning that travellers from EU countries which are party to that treaty may enter the country with their identity card. However, minors must always travel with a valid passport. Travellers from other countries must check the conditions for entry into Switzerland before embarking on their trip.

Proper water intake is an important factor for all athletes. Athletes taking part in our camps must take even greater care because of the altitude on the glacier and the low relative humidity. For training on the slopes and post-ski workouts, athletes must carry at least one litre of liquid in their training backpack and this liquid must be consumed during the course of the training session.

Sun protection using high factor sun cream is also indispensable. You must also carry quick-energy, salty snacks with you to glacier training (energy bars, nuts, fruit, and sandwiches). There is always a break during glacier training to eat snacks. Athletes staying in our hotel will be offered a variety of snacks to choose from at breakfast time every morning.

A well-balanced and abundant breakfast before training is also of vital importance and we will insist that all our athletes heed this recommendation.

While athletes are training with us, their diet should be varied, healthy and sufficient and must include fruits and vegetables. Our ski camps include instruction on healthy eating habits.

Ski Zenit offers its athletes and their chaperones a transfer service in comfortable mini-buses from/to the Geneva, Zürich, Basel or Milan airports. Transfer by motorway takes about three hours. All airport transfer drivers are authorised to check-in all young athletes traveling alone.

Athletes who have made purchases will pick up their new equipment at the local Intersport Glacier shop upon arrival.

There they can also find helmets, goggles and other accessories with a 10% discount. The shop also offers professional boot fitting and ski tuning with the most modern machine.

For our younger racers we have several pairs of race skis for rent in different sizes. Limited stock is available, so make sure you reserve well in advance.
