Registrations are now open for the World Rookie Camp Hintertux 2025

The World Rookie Camp Hintertux returns from November 12th to 16th, 2025, after the great success of last year’s first edition. Hosted at the legendary Hintertux Glacier in Tirol, Austria, and presented by Ästhetiker and the World Snowboard Federation, this unique pre-season training camp is open to snowboarders and freeskiers of all ages and levels.

It is more than just a training opportunity. It’s a complete experience where sport, education and lifestyle come together in one of the most iconic freestyle locations in the Alps.

Throughout the week, participants will train daily on the slopestyle and halfpipe lines of Betterpark Hintertux, shaped by Wille Kaufmann and his crew. Whether you’re joining with your coach or as an individual rider, you’ll benefit from professional coaching, with the legendary Ästhetiker team available to support everyone.

One of the highlights of the camp is the final Rail Jam, which awards points for the World Rookie Rank in both snowboard and freeski disciplines. The best boy and best girl will receive an invitation to the World Rookie Finals 2026, including free accommodation, lift ticket and event entry. The Rail Jam also serves as an official qualifier for the Rock A Rail Innsbruck.

In addition to the on-snow program, a wide range of lifestyle activities are planned:

• A visit to the Spannagelhöhle, Europe’s highest show cave

• Trampoline and skate sessions at KaBoom Hall in Kaltenbach

• A workshop hosted by the World Snowboard Federation

All participants will also receive professional photo and video content, ready to share on their social channels and to kick off the new season with visibility.

The full camp package costs €780, and includes:

• 4 nights of accommodation with breakfast and dinner

• 4-day lift pass (Nov. 13–16)
