SSC Racing Alpine Camps

SSC’s overseas training & racing opportunities in Europe are open to all club members with racing experience, and suitable for U10-U18 age groups. Club membership is open to all and just £27.50 annually – see here. These camps are complemented by our Scottish training based at Cairngorm during the winter. Find out more here.

If you would like to join us for any of these camps, you want to know which camp(s) are suitable for you, or you have any other queries, you can contact the club’s Head Coach, Calum Shepherd, by email at coaching@scottishskiclub.org.uk.

“My son will never ski in the World Cup. Why, then, do I spend so much time and money on ski camps? This type of sport is a way for him to develop both physically and mentally during the important years. He has become totally dedicated to something. He has developed pride, self confidence, mental awareness, lasting friendships, punctuality and pride in his appearance. Short of the military, he has become regimented in his actions both at home, school and on the mountain. He doesn’t like to lose, but has become more gracious about it. He certainly doesn’t have time to be bored. He has learned to take criticism and accept praise gracefully. All of these qualities take some people a life to attain. My son is 12 years old.”

Season 2026/27

Here is an overview of camps we plan to run in 2026/27. These camps are all subject to minimum numbers.

Autumn on the glaciers is the perfect time to kick-start the season with dedicated training time and no races. Hintertux offers the perfect pre-season environment for learning how to go faster, adjusting tactics and building strong technique. Plus, the valley is full of great spaces for afternoon fitness, and our team base supports ski tuning & video analysis.
