Due to exceptionally high demand, Ski Zenit extended the October ski racing camps in Saas‑Fee. Originally slated to run through October 25, the program will now run from October 13 to November 1, with an extra week added to accommodate more athletes and give additional skiers the chance to train on outstanding fall snow.
World‑class training environment Saas‑Fee is internationally recognized for reliable snow, glacier terrain, and high‑quality training infrastructure. Some of the world’s best athletes train on the Saas‑Fee glacier throughout the summer and fall, making the valley a proven location for focused technical and speed preparation. The altitude, well‑maintained slopes, and year‑round training culture provide ideal conditions for intensive on‑snow sessions.
Ideal for race training Ski Zenit at Saas‑Fee offers an exceptional training arena for racers. The slope’s consistent pitch and firm, well‑prepared surface make it perfect for timing, gate work, and high‑speed drills. Key advantages of Ski Zenit for race preparation:
- Consistent surface quality: regular grooming and glacier conditions produce reliable snow that helps athletes focus on technique rather than variable snow.
- Versatile pitch and profile: sections with different gradients allow coaches to design runs that simulate slalom, giant slalom, and speed elements within the same session.
- Long training runs: extended course length gives skiers the opportunity to practice full‑speed race segments and work repeatedly on starts, transitions, and finish techniques.
- Safety and support: proximity to training facilities and rescue services, plus clear sightlines for coaches, mean sessions can be pushed hard while minimizing risk.
Proven track record: national teams and elite squads use Ski Zenit regularly, confirming its value for measurable performance gains and race preparation.
