About camp
Welcome to the Glacier Academy - a home for international athletes looking to grow, compete, and experience elite-level coaching in some of Switzerland's most breathtaking locations.
Glacier Academy brings elite hockey skills and professional coaching together with character development - in inspiring high-altitude locations where players grow on the ice, off the ice, and as people.
Glacier Hockey Academy runs multiple elite camps across the year from our base in Switzerland. Each camp blends high-performance training with holistic development in a world-class Alpine environment.
Our programme is led by certified coaches and former pros, with PEP – Power Edge Pro integrated in some camps. Expect modern edgework, Reactive Countering Training™ principles, and progressive skill development on and off the ice.
Players benefit from advanced on-ice instruction, off-ice conditioning, tactical education, and mental preparation. The international environment fosters camaraderie, growth, and exposure to pathways in Europe and North America.
Choose the session that fits your season — Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter Pro, or one of our short skills camps — and build lasting foundations with elite mentorship in the Swiss Alps.
