Crazy Ski Camp 2025

In the daytime we will be skiing and snowboarding in the overwhelming mountain landscapes with the slopes passing right at our front door!

This is not an organized common activity; one moment you'll probably enjoy some self-time at the slopes, whilst at other moments you'll want to join some others of the group.

In the evening we will do fun and meaningful group games, cook and eat together, have a night hike under the starry sky, maybe have a massage workshop, etc. The Crazy Ski Camp will be an amazing adventure!

Let's enjoy this marvelous adventure high in the Alps without any stimulants! We will refrain from consuming alcohol and drugs. Our body will take care of generating adrenaline, endorphins, serotonin, dopamine and lots of oxytocin for happy vibes :) ► Read more here.

Our mountain retreat is a cozy hut, exclusively for our group, perched high on the slopes with breathtaking views of the valley. It's a peaceful escape, far from the busy village below, and right at the edge of the ski run.

As the day winds down and the slopes empty, we remain in our simple hideaway, surrounded by nature. The ski resort is not too big and not too small, offering a variety of landscapes that are great for all levels of skiing.

This is your chance to unwind and enjoy the serenity of the mountains in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Our mountain cabin offers a cozy, welcoming space with everything you need for a simple, enjoyable stay. The large kitchen is perfect for cooking together, and the dining area invites shared meals and conversation. The dorms are spacious and provide plenty of room to rest after a day of adventure.

While it's not luxurious, it's a charming, rustic escape where we focus on connection rather than comfort. There are clean toilets and a washing area for your convenience. Please note, no smoking indoors.

Not sure about sharing a dorm? [Read the details here.]

Cooking will be done by the group for the group; no à la carte service :) Because we are high in the mountains, our resources are limited, and we'll all have to be flexible. If you are very precise with your food, then this is not the right experience for you, sorry.

All food is 100% plant based. The provided food is vegan. Also, please don't bring any animal origin foods with you, such as meat, chicken, fish, seafood, honey, milk, yoghurt, cheese, products containing gelatine, etc. [why is this?] If you think you can't do without them, this is the perfect occasion to learn how rich and fulfilling plant based nutrition can be :)

This is an alcohol-free event. The provided drinks are non-alcoholic. Also, please don't bring any alcoholic drinks yourself. We'll do without external stimulants :) So no drugs as well. Only for coffee, we'll make an exception.

We'll always do our best to accommodate allergies.
It is not always possible to accommodate intolerances. Please contact me to discuss (im)possibilities.

There is space and time for workshop-like activities, so if you would like to share some of your knowledge or skills, feel free! Maybe you want to teach us some capoeira, do a photoshoot or make us sing the traditionals of your native culture? Just some ideas… it really can be anything. And, of course, it's not an obligation :)

Couples

If you are a couple, please understand that in the Crazy Ski Camp, you cannot behave like a couple. In general, the beds are allocated through a lottery [read faq] and we're all sleeping in one shared space. You participate in all activities and group life as individuals and not as a couple. Yes, you will be hugging – in the many group hugs! So be prepared to sit each at opposite sides of the table during dinner. And accept that someone other than yourself might be giving your partner a massage of the sore muscles.

Your participation in the cost for these 7 days / 6 nights is (depending on your situation) between EUR 599 and EUR 699 per person for accommodation, food (that we will cook together), tourist taxes, and life enriching experiences.

If you feel that the Crazy Ski Camp is really the right experience for you, and you are seriously struggling with the participation fee: please reach out to me. Because I wouldn't want that money issues would stop you from participating. There are, for example, possibilities for volunteering.

The environmental impact of the Crazy Ski Camp is small.

• As we will stay on the mountain right at the ski slopes, we don't have that daily ritual of going up/down with the main gondola and commuting by car or skibus to/from the hotel.
• As we live in community, we are heating much smaller volumes of spaces then what we would need individually. We will cook centrally for the group, which is way more efficient than people cooking individually at home

• Our food is entirely plant based. Livestock farming, together with the industry that comes with it, is one of the biggest contributors to climate change and destruction of nature. By sticking to plant based nutrition, we do our taste buds and our health a favour – and we do Planet Earth as a whole a favour. Check this link for more info.
• It's easy to rent gear etc. in order to avoid buying things that we don't use for the rest of the year, thus making good use of resources.

► How can I further reduce my impact?

Our meeting place is one short bus ride away from a railway station. That railway station is very easy to reach. From many big cities in Europe it takes only one or two train changes. Several long-distance international bus lines stop not too far away.

The other option is to offer or join a ride-share, for example through blablacar or with other Crazy Ski Camp participants [read faq].

Our meeting place is at the bottom station of the main gondola that goes from the village into the ski area. To reach the hut on arrival day, we'll go up with that gondola, then take a ski lift to get to the hut. It involves some skiing/snowboarding :) or evt. one could walk the last bit.

Our hut is located on a blue slope; suitable for beginners.
