ISMF is pleased to announce the 4th edition of the Olympic Solidarity Youth Training Camp, which will take place from 13 to 19 December 2025 in Maso Corto, Italy.
After the success of previous editions held in Zakopane (Poland), Jaca (Spain), and Nevados de Chillán (Chile), this year’s camp will bring together young ski mountaineering talents from around the world in the heart of the Alps. The initiative, supported by Olympic Solidarity, aims to promote the development of ski mountaineering globally, providing new opportunities for young athletes to grow both in sport and as part of the Olympic Movement.
The camp will feature a comprehensive programme combining on-snow training, sprint and mixed relay sessions, gym and swimming workouts, and educational activities focused on anti-doping and sports values. Participants will also enjoy an environment that fosters cultural exchange, gender balance, and the transfer of knowledge between nations.
The venue, Aparthotel Maso Corto, is located at 2,000 m in the Val Senales area of South Tyrol, offering ideal conditions for ski mountaineering with ski lifts reaching up to 3,200 m.
Eligible athletes must be born between 2003 and 2009, hold a valid national licence from an ISMF-recognised member, and meet all required participation and safety standards. Coaches must be licensed and fluent in English, with relevant coaching experience.
The ISMF reaffirms its commitment to empowering National Olympic Committees and promoting youth development through sport, in line with the values of Olympic Solidarity — keeping athletes at the heart of the movement and fostering global unity through sport.
We look forward to welcoming young ski mountaineers from around the world to Italy in December 2025!
