The FESA Week brings about 140 alpine skiers under 16 to Crans-Montana, from Monday 1 to Saturday 6 March 2027. Coming from 15 nations, they take part in a training camp and four competitions.
The story
FESA is the Federation of European Ski and Snowboard Associations. It runs the FESA Cup, an international meeting for young alpine skiers. In 2024 the event took place in Soldeu, Andorra, on the Grandvalira World Cup slope.
In Soldeu the competition lasted four days, with two slaloms and two giant slaloms over two runs. Each race had about 40 athletes born in 2008 and 2009. The United States was the only invited non-member nation.
In 2027 Ski Valais hosts the event in Crans-Montana, a few weeks after the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships of 1 to 14 February. The French Ski Federation sends 6 girls and 6 boys. They are selected after the first stage of the Écureuils d’Or (Golden Squirrels) series.
Who organises it
The 2027 edition is held on the initiative of Ski Valais. It is part of the FESA circuit.
What to find
The programme combines an international training camp and four alpine ski competitions.
