Location:
Col Gallina, Stelvio, Austria glaciers, Sweden, indoor
Dates:
Mid-April to October
Drawing upon the combined extensive experience of Alta Badia Ski Academy and GB World in Aprica (Bormio) – decades of coaching and racing worldwide – the programs are meticulously crafted.
Through collaborative efforts, they are able to tailor a variety of programs to effectively meet the diverse needs of the athletes while still remaining a small program focusing on individual attention.
We start right at the end of the season (mid-April to mid-May) in Col Gallina, near Cortina. This is FIS-only training.
From early June to early August: All age groups train at glaciers and indoor facilities, with a week of dry training at the beach in beautiful Sardinia
From mid-September to early November: Glacier training/ Sweden
By October the FIS groups travel to Sweden for a last intensive training session before races start, and then off to Sweden.
The routine consists of alternating between training on snow and dry land exercises. The training camps are not commercially oriented; hence, they only accommodate a select few athletes, with a preference for athletes committed to the full-season program.
Why should athletes attend?
Although skiing is predominantly associated with winter, the summer months hold paramount significance for ski racers. It’s during this period that we return to fundamentals, engage in fine-tuning, and focus on skill development for the upcoming winter season, free from the pressures of racing. This emphasis on foundational work is particularly crucial for FIS athletes, as the rigorous racing schedule during winter consumes much of their time, leaving little opportunity for refining techniques. Given the importance of progression, especially in the summer, our programs are structured for medium to long durations (with a recommended minimum of 3 weeks). Extended periods not only facilitate skill enhancement but also nurture camaraderie among athletes, fostering a rich cultural exchange, especially for foreign participants who immerse themselves in an authentic Italian experience alongside their peers. Moreover, we maintain a low athlete-to-coach ratio to ensure personalized attention and maximize individual attention.
