The U.S. Elite Camps Swiss Sessions are for the athlete looking for a unique European Experience and high-level training next to the World's top ski racers! What distinguishes U.S. Elite Camps from other camps is that we use Professional coaches who work with the athletes in small groups to ensure individual attention to the athletes' progression. The coaches create an amazing training opportunity on the beautiful Glacier while enjoying the Swiss mountain village of Saas-Fee.
The environmentally friendly village (no gas cars allowed) is set up to preserve the skiing on the 'Feegletscher'. The athletes will have an opportunity to eat local foods, tour the village and country side and enjoy the local Swiss culture.
The Saas-Fee camp will have 8-11 days of skiing and training* and a built-in rest and recovery day. On the rest day, the athletes will have the opportunity to hike the amazing surrounding mountains, hike and visit local towns, and enjoy the amazing Saas-Fee village.
The traditional Swiss cuisine is a treat while staying our village Inn (at 6,000'), which is walking distance to the Saas-Fee cable car lift. The daily training takes place on the 11,000' glacier far above the village.
Skiing and visiting the beautiful village of Saas-Fee is an experience that will never be forgotten.
U.S. Elite Camps take pride in offering a high level training program and fun activities in a safe and supportive family atmosphere. Our experienced and professional coaches offer the most current training philosophies and focus on the individual.
