Hintertux October Half-Term Ski Race Camp

The Hintertux October Half-Term Ski Race Camp is an autumn alpine training camp run by CDC Performance on the Hintertux glacier in Austria. Held over the October half-term break, it is designed to help young ski racers make technical improvements, test equipment and build a big volume of on-snow skiing before the winter race season begins. The glacier setting offers reliable early-season snow and a good variety of terrain, making it a practical choice for pre-season preparation. The camp is suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities, from minis through children's race groups to FIS-level athletes. Minis are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult, and the camp is also open to newer skiers who want to experience race training and become part of the team. Coaching focuses on foundation technique and race tactics, supported by daily video analysis and fitness work, so that athletes are well prepared to move into intense race training later in the season. Families can choose how their child takes part. Residential athletes (inliers) stay with the group at partner hotel apartments set up for ski teams, with coaching, accommodation, meals, lift pass, video analysis, fitness, airport and in-resort transport and pastoral care included in the package. A day option (outliers) is available for those who make their own arrangements; this covers ski coaching, video analysis and fitness, while lunch, lift pass and accommodation are not included for day participants. The camp can be booked as a single week or as a longer stay across the half-term period, and places at the partner accommodation are limited, so early planning is advisable. Flights are arranged separately by families, and there is also an opportunity to try and buy equipment through a partner ski shop in resort. Parents should confirm final dates, current prices, availability, flight and airport transfer details, insurance, medical support and supervision arrangements directly with the provider before making travel plans, as dates, prices and availability may change.
