Physio Ski Camp 2026
“I've come all the way from Ireland for the physio ski camp and signed up mostly for the skiing as well, but the course of Sebastiano was fantastic. Definitely an expert in his field and coming away with a lot of good learnings and stuff to take back to in my practise. The whole week has been fantastic. The Italian food soon as you arrived in Carezza. I've never been here it's absolutely phenomenal. The Dolomites, the snow, the camaraderie with all the physios and it's really great to meet a group of physios from loads of different countries, share ideas. It's like a melting pot of ideas. It's been fantastic. So the one word to describe the week, it's been epic.”
“It was amazing. So my name is Frans, I'm a Dutch physiotherapist, live in Switzerland, and I saw the advertisement of the Physio ski camp. A good colleague of mine had a very good experience with the running camp, so I signed up and it was amazing. The group was special. The snow conditions were special and the lectures were very, very good. So a big recommendation and big thank you for organising this amazing camp. Thanks and see you soon.”
“Hey, I'm Chloe and I have come all the way from Australia to attend this first ski camp. It's been such an awesome time just meeting people from all different countries, skiing together, learning together. It's been such a great time. One word: Cold!”

Venue: Villa San Pio X, Carezza, Italy
The Carezza ski resort has 40km of ski slopes, which will be plenty during our three 3-morning ski sessions of 4 hours each.
If you would like to extend your ski trip, you can go to a bigger ski resort in the region during the weekends before or after the Physio Ski Camp.
The villa has a perfect location: 10 meters from two ski lifts, and it has a beautiful view of the Rosengarten and Latemar massifs (see picture below)
The interior of the villa has a bit of a more budget look compared to the beautiful outdoor scenery.
We wanted to compensate for this with the amazing-looking room where the course will be held at the
Grand Hotel Carezza Residence which will be a 10-minute walk from our villa. (picture below)
