| We’re kicking off 2026 in style as we head back to the towering white peaks of the Austrian Alps! This time, we’re introducing a special, separate Winter Camp with a family-friendly focus. In a hotel exclusively for us, there will be skiing, snowboarding, Jiu-Jitsu, schnitzel, sleigh rides, waterparks, and plenty of activities for children of all ages.
Nestled in a stunning alpine valley less than an hour’s drive from Salzburg airport, the charming little village of Wagrain (population of just over 3,000 people) has well and truly established itself as the location of choice for our Winter Camp. The entire valley is interlaced with hundreds of kilometres of world-class ski slopes suitable for all levels, from beginner to expert, and the village itself is a wonderfully romantic mix of quaint market squares and centuries-old houses. | | | | The camp venue is Wiederkehr, a hotel located about a 10-minute walk from the ski lifts. We’ll have the entire hotel to ourselves for the duration of the camp, so there’ll be plenty of room for all of us. You have a choice of staying in a 6-8 bed shared room or in one of our few double- or single rooms, if you’d like some more privacy to sleep after a long day of skiing, snowboarding, and rolling.
Food is served three times a day and is included in the price of the camp. There’s also a 24-hour free fruit and (non-alcoholic) beverages bar that you’re welcome to use as much as you like, day or night. And if you need anything else in between meals, there’s a small supermarket just a one-minute walk from the house. | | | | Whether your family members are complete beginners or seasoned skiers and snowboarders, this camp is designed for everyone. With lifts conveniently located near the hotel, you’ll have direct access to a vast network of over 210 kilometers of slopes catering to all skill levels.
Our dedicated ski instructors, boasting decades of combined experience, will be available daily to help your children take their first snowy steps and ensure you get the most out of your trip. | | | | The hotel has a small sports area where we’ll be laying down mats and running classes (both gi and no-gi) every day. These are all taught by a variety of highly experienced instructors who bring their own perspective on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, sometimes incorporating concepts from other grappling arts such as wrestling, judo, and luta livre. We’ll also schedule daily open mat sessions at which you can roll, drill technique, or just chat with the instructors and pick their brains.
For the kids at the camp, there’ll be a BJJ class and some open mat free-play time (all ages) every day in the schedule. It’ll be a great way for them to meet new friends from all over the world in a fun and safe environment. Please note that, in order to keep our adult classes focused and quiet, kids will not be allowed in the training hall outside of the kids’ hours. | | | | If you still have energy after all the BJJ and skiing, you can go test out the slides at the water park right next door to the hotel. Wasserwelt Amadé features both outdoor and indoor swimming pools, a sauna, and a relaxation area, and all camp participants will have full access for free through the camp. | | | | |
