From November 11th to 15th, 2026, the third World Rookie Camp Hintertux, presented by Ästhetiker, World Snowboard Federation and World Rookie Tour, takes over the Hintertux Glacier in Tyrol, Austria. Snowboard and freeski, open to all ages, riders from all over the world: five days of pre-season training in a freshly shaped park, weeks before most resorts even open.
Ride with the Ästhetiker crew
Coming with your coach? Perfect. Riding solo? The legendary Ästhetiker crew has you covered, with slopestyle training and coaching every morning from Thursday to Saturday. Park shaping by Better Parks – Wille Kaufmann. Filmers and photographers follow the camp all week, and every rider gets pics and footage for free. Your content for the season: sorted.
Off the snow
A visit to the Natur Eis Palast, a Glacier Technical Insides Workshop presented by Hintertux, trampoline and skate time at the Kaboom Hall in Kaltenbach. Add a WRT workshop for coaches and parents, the Video Contest prize-giving, and a Saturday night party.
Sunday: Rail Session
The camp closes with a Rail Session on Sunday, November 15th, and it counts:
Rookie Rank points for snowboard and freeski
Best Girl and Best Boy win free entry to the World Rookie Finals FS & SNB (accommodation, lift tickets and entry fee included)
Top 3 girls and top 3 boys qualify for Rock a Rail Innsbruck
Home base: Adler Inn
This season everyone stays at the Adler Inn – Tyrol Mountain Resort, a 4-star superior hotel just a 4-minute bus ride from the glacier, with a 2,000 m² spa, indoor pool and outdoor whirlpool.
The 5-day package is €830 per athlete, coach or parent: 4 nights with breakfast and dinner, 4 lift passes (November 12th–15th) and all workshop entries. An extra lift pass for November 11th is available online for €38.
From September 10th to 13th, 2026, the World Rookie Tour drops something completely new: the Garda Rookie Camp, landing in Riva del Garda for four days of pure skate and BMX progression.
And here’s the big one: for the first time ever in Italy, a World Rookie Tour camp will feature both BMX and SKATEBOARD together. Same spot, same vibe, same next-gen energy.
Hosted by Black Yeti and part of the official WRT circuit, this camp is built for riders who want to level up, connect with other rookies from different countries, and ride one of the cleanest setups in Northern Italy: Go Fast Skatepark.
What’s the plan? Expect daily sessions with qualified coaches, video shooting, side activities — and a full weekend of contests to close it out:
Important: Camp and contests are independent. You can join the full camp experience, compete in one or both Rookie Fests as a day rider, or do both. Nothing is mandatory, you choose your level of commitment.
Not just a camp. It’s a full experience.
The camp is open to riders aged 7+, with at least a basic riding level (no first-timers here). Safety is taken seriously: helmet mandatory, 24/7 supervision, and certified coaching staff.
Price & what’s included
The participation fee is €370, and includes:
3 nights accommodation (shared rooms, half board)
Daily training sessions
Contest entry (BMX + Skate)
Photo & video coverage
Full supervision
Not included: travel, lunches, insurance (available for €30 if needed), and personal extras.
Registration & deadlines
You can secure your spot by:
Paying full fee upfront
Or splitting: €200 deposit by July 20 + €170 by September 4
Spots are limited, and after September 4th, cancellations mean full fee is lost—so don’t sleep on it.
Why this matters:
This is more than a new camp. It’s a shift. WRT is pushing harder into urban action sports, building a real bridge between mountain culture and street culture.
If you’re into progression, crew vibes, and stacking clips while riding one of Italy’s best locations… this is your move.
Spring just got a serious upgrade. From May 10 to 17, 2026, the World Rookie Tour heads to one of the most iconic summer riding spots in Europe: Les Deux Alpes glacier (France), sitting at over 3400 meters and ready to host the 4th edition of the World Rookie Camp
This is not just a camp. It’s where the next generation levels up.
Train like a pro on the glacier
Riders will session a dedicated setup including the exclusive Rookie Prime Line, designed to push progression while keeping it fun and safe. Add in professional media crews capturing your best tricks, and you’ve got content straight out of a pro edit.
Off the snow? The vibe keeps going. Les Deux Alpes brings skateparks, MTB trails, pools, and a full-on summer mountain lifestyle, all within walking distance.
Three competitions. One week. Zero excuses.
What makes this stop unique is simple: 3 Rookie Fests in one single camp.
Whether you ride snow or concrete, this is your shot to step into the international scene and stack points for the World Rookie Rank.
More than riding: full experience mode
Workshops, judge clinics, video shoots, brand village, music on snow, and more—this week is built to connect riders from all over the world and create that real WRT community energy.

The World Rookie Freeski Camp Lapland is a key opportunity for young freeskiers preparing for future World Rookie Tour events or simply aiming to step up their level in a high-quality international training environment.
The second edition of the World Rookie Camp Hintertux confirmed once again why this event is one of the most inspiring freestyle gatherings in Europe. From 12 to 16 November 2025, more than 30 young snowboarders and freeskiers from seven nations met at Betterpark Hintertux, turning the glacier into the ultimate playground to kick off the new winter season.
Organized by the World Rookie Tour in collaboration with Ästhetiker and the World Snowboard Federation, the camp combined professional training, education, and fun the perfect mix for the next generation of freestyle talents. Riders aged between 11 and 18 spent five days on snow, improving their skills under the guidance of an experienced coaching crew, focusing on style, safety, and technical progression.
But the experience at World Rookie Camp Hintertux went far beyond snowboarding and freeskiing. Off snow sessions included a guided visit to the Spannagel Cave, where participants explored one of the most fascinating natural landmarks of the Zillertal Valley, and trampoline training at KABOOOM Airparc, where they practiced airtime, coordination, and body control in a playful way.
Knowledge met practice during the Judge Workshop led by Balasz Gyorki, giving riders a deeper understanding of judging criteria and contest formats a unique learning opportunity for those dreaming of competing on the World Rookie Tour circuit.
Evenings were dedicated to video analysis sessions hosted by CK Chris Kröll at the Madseiterhof, where athletes reviewed their runs frame by frame, identifying improvements and celebrating progress together.
Meinhard Trojer commented: “The second edition could not have gone any better.” Florian Müller added: “The camp perfectly combines training, education, and community.”
For sixteen-year-old US skier Jacqueline Kanzler, it was “an incredible week full of perfect snow, laughs, and new friendships.”
With this strong comeback, the World Rookie Camp Hintertux once again proved to be the best way to start the season and a perfect introduction to the upcoming World Rookie Tour Winter 2025/26.
The Nitro Rookie Camp is back, ready to kick off the winter season in style. From December 12 to 14, 2025, young riders will gather in Madonna di Campiglio, one of the most iconic winter destinations in the Alps, for a unique experience mixing snowboard and freeski training, fun, and friendship.
Unlike a high-level competition, this camp is specifically designed for beginners and intermediate riders aged 8 years and above who want to enjoy their first freestyle sessions in a safe and motivating environment. It’s the perfect way to start the season, build confidence, and learn new tricks surrounded by the breathtaking Dolomites.

After last year’s incredible debut, the World Rookie Camp Hintertux 2025 is back and ready to kick off the new winter season in style. From November 12th to 16th, riders from all over the world will gather at the legendary Hintertux Glacier in Tirol, Austria, for five unforgettable days of freestyle training, lifestyle experiences, and international vibes. Open to snowboarders and freeskiers of all ages and levels, the camp is the perfect way to sharpen your skills before the season officially starts, with the support of the Ästhetiker crew and the World Snowboard Federation.
Whether you’re a young rookie, a team coach, or a passionate parent, this five-day experience is open to everyone. Participants will enjoy top-tier training on a perfectly shaped park by Betterparks, with daily coaching sessions in slopestyle and halfpipe. No coach? No problem. The legendary Ästhetiker crew will be there to ride with you and share their knowledge.
The World Rookie Camp Hintertux 2025 goes beyond training: it’s a full lifestyle immersion. A rail jam on Sunday will award valuable points for the World Rookie Rank (snowboard and freeski), and offer direct qualification for Rock a Rail Innsbruck (top 3 boys and girls). Plus, the best boy and girl of the camp will earn free entry, lift tickets, and accommodation for the World Rookie Finals 2026.
To complete the experience, participants will join fun and inspiring activities off the slopes. One of the highlights is the visit to the Spannagelhöhle, the highest show cave in Europe, located right next to the glacier. This impressive natural cave system, formed in marble rock, is an underground wonder and offers a unique adventure deep inside the Tux mountains. Riders will also enjoy sessions at the Kaboom Hall Kaltenbach (featuring skate and trampolines) and attend workshops hosted by the World Snowboard Federation. All riders will receive personal media content to share and kickstart their season online.

The Les Deux Alpes freestyle camp concluded with remarkable success, bringing together 80+ participants from across Europe for six days of intense action, creativity, and unforgettable experiences. This year’s edition elevated the camp to new heights with enhanced content production, diverse activities, and an atmosphere that perfectly captured the spirit of freestyle snowboarding and skateboarding.
Professional Media Team and Premium Content Production
This year’s camp featured a significant upgrade with the addition of a dedicated photographer and videographer to the team throughout the entire week. This professional media team proved instrumental in capturing every highlight moment, ensuring no trick, no smile, and no memorable interaction went undocumented. Daily recap videos and consistent photo updates showcased each participant on social media, creating a comprehensive visual diary of the week’s adventures.
The enhanced content strategy not only documented the camp experience but also provided participants with professional-quality memories of their time on the slopes and in the park. Having a dedicated media team meant riders could focus entirely on their progression while knowing their best moments were being captured by experienced professionals.
Competition Excellence and Creative Challenges
Two international competitions in skateboarding and snowboarding showcased the incredible talent gathered at Les Deux Alpes. The competitive spirit was perfectly complemented by top-tier snow conditions that provided the ideal backdrop for pushing limits and landing new tricks.
The innovative “Spot to Spot” contest, organised in collaboration with Sauce Event, brought a fresh format to the competition scene. Riders moved between different features in the snowpark, spending 30 minutes at each location, with prizes awarded for the best tricks. This high-energy format not only generated spectacular visual content but also encouraged creative approach variations across different obstacles.
Cultural Enrichment Beyond the Slopes
The camp’s cultural program proved equally impressive. Spanish graffiti legend El Xupet Negre led an inspiring workshop, introducing participants to the history of street art before collaborating on a stunning mural that now adorns the skatepark. This artistic element added a unique dimension to the traditional snow sports focus.
Music played a central role in the explosive outdoor concert by the rock band Resto Basket, creating a standout moment that united all participants around live music. The popular hip-hop and dancehall sessions returned by demand, offering riders an alternative form of expression and movement off the snow.

Educational Opportunities and International Solidarity
The freestyle judging clinic, led by two international judges, provided valuable insights into competitive evaluation criteria and scoring systems. This educational component helped participants understand the technical aspects of competition beyond just performing tricks.
A particularly meaningful aspect of the camp was hosting the Afghan national snowboard team, supported by the Snowboarders of Solidarity project led by Victor Daviet. Their inspiring story, recently featured in an Arte documentary, sparked important discussions about resilience, community, and the universal language of sport.
Looking Ahead: Les Deux Alpes 2026
