FACILITIES

The camp venue is Jugendhotel 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.

‍

SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING LESSONS

Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned skier/snowboarder, this camp is for you. From the lifts near the hotel, you have easy and direct access to a vast area of more than 120km of slopes that cater to any and all levels. There’s also a small practice slope that you can use for free before you decide if you want to pay for a ski pass.

Our ski and snowboard instructors for the camp have decades of experience between them, and will be there for you every day to ensure you get the absolute most out of your trip. Regardless if you’ve never even seen snow before or if you need a trustworthy guide for the craziest off-piste drops, they’ve got you covered.

Please note that the ski pass and equipment rental are not included in the camp price, since we know that many people prefer to bring their own stuff, and there can be a big difference in how much time individual people want to spend in the snow. We always get good prices for our participants for equipment rentals (will be announced in camp Facebook group closer to the event). For ski pass prices, you can check out www.snow-space.com.

‍

BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU TRAINING

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. Extra mats are available 24 hours a day, so you can always grab a friend and roll at any time outside of the class schedule.

All of our camps are renowned for their open and welcoming atmosphere. They’re full of enthusiastic, friendly people from all around the world, who enjoy training in a fun, relaxed, and open-minded environment. So regardless of whether you’re there with a group or traveling solo, you’ll always find someone to slap hands with.

‍

BEGINNERS WELCOME!

BJJ Globetrotters is built on a foundation of treating everyone equally, both on and off the mats. We understand that signing up for a week-long training camp as a beginner in the sport can be a very intimidating thought. People often ask us if they are even allowed to join as beginners or if they would somehow be a burden to the instructors or other participants. However, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. We are most happy to have beginners of all levels join us, both for the training and social aspects of the camps.

At many of the camps, we even host a “White Belt Appreciation Hour,” which is a closed event where white belts can have “alone time” with the black belt coaches and ask all the beginner questions they might have. So, if you’re still inexperienced in BJJ and on the edge about coming, just do it! We’ve all started where you are now, and one day you’ll probably be able to beat us, so we better be nice to you now

‍

WORKSHOPS

Off the mats, we’ll be holding a series of workshops taught by a selection of instructors and highly knowledgeable camp attendees. These will all take place in the camp venue. Generally they focus on Jiu Jitsu and sport-related topics, but we’ve also had presentations on things like improving your photography, getting ideas and making stuff happen, and analysis of famous fights – basically anything cool that we think might be interesting!

‍

ONLINE VIDEO LIBRARY OF CAMP CLASSES

We’ll be professionally filming many of the classes and then hosting them online at our video library: BJJ Globetrotters in Action. They’ll be entirely free to access (as will the videos from all our other camps), so if you want to refresh your memory you can go back and check out the technique as many times as you want.

‍

FREE ADMISSION TO NEXT DOOR WATER PARK

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.

‍

MORNING YOGA

Five days of Jiu Jitsu and hiking in the alps is tough on the body! In order to keep us as limbre and loose right until the end, we’re bringing back our dedicated instructor to run morning yoga sessions every day of the camp.

‍

THE WINTER CAMP COMPETITION

Once again, we’ll be hosting our traditional Winter Camp competition. It’s evolved over the years from semi-suicidal downhill to drunken slalom and to its current – and less dangerous – incarnation as a snowman-building competition. Bring your best gloves, and be ready to fight hard to ensure your name will forever be remembered in the BJJ Globetrotters history books!

‍

NIGHT LIFE AND APRÉS SKI

Should you still have any energy left after skiing/snowboarding and Jiu Jitsu, there’s ample opportunity to taste the local herbal liquors at the many aprés ski bars in the area. Lederhosen and Dirndl is not required dresscode for entry, but always encouraged!

‍

SNOW BAR

On the last day of the camp, we’ll wrap everything up in style by building an outdoor bar in the snow and having a few drinks together. We’ll also have warm glühwein and a bonfire to keep our feet and fingers warm.

‍

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 sheer amount of training, skiing/snowboarding, and socialising we manage to fit into the five days in this beautiful place is truly something special, and we can’t wait to get back there and have a fantastic experience together with a group of Globetrotters from all around the world.

Schedule and guidebook will be released approximately a week prior to the camp
