Alta Badia Ski Racing is an international ski team and academy in the Italian Alps. They have two home bases in the Milano-Cortina 2026 venues, one in Alta Badia-Cortina, Dolomites and the other Aprica, in the Bormio region. The academy takes a holistic approach to ski racing and offers quality and individual attention.
The academy strives to offer an “enriching experience both technically and personally.” They remain small in numbers to provide the best avenues for their athletes to succeed in their long-term goals. Although small, they divide into two teams to ensure that they address the athletes’ individual needs. In Aprica they cater to all ages, while in Alta Badia they only accept FIS athletes, including postgraduate athletes. The student-athletes are encouraged to stay in the program year-round but are also offered the option to join for either spring, summer, fall or winter only.
Different online schools are recommended for the athletes. Postgraduate students may be offered to work as research assistants for a range of academic programs. They can also take Italian language classes that can lead to final certification if they so desire. The coaches and staff are also on the forefront of research and innovation in alpine skiing by leading the ESKI Project. The student-athletes live together in shared apartments in the two different home bases.
At this international ski academy, the student-athletes train alongside World Cup and Europa Cup racers. The Alps bring in highly competitive athletes, so the coaches challenge their racers to give their best throughout the year. Outside of the competition season in the winter, they offer summer and fall camps that maximize their time on snow. Also, they developed an intensive dryland program for optimal strength and conditioning.
