WTGF SNOW BOOT CAMP

7 – 14 MARCH 2026, ANZERE, SWITZERLAND

After the unforgettable moments in Dresden, Germany, the World Transplant Games community is invited to come together once again — this time in the heart of the Swiss Alps.

The WTGF Snow Boot Camp is not a competition.

It is not a conference.

It is a week of movement, recovery, connection, and celebration, designed especially for transplant recipients, donors, and their friends and families.

From scenic winter walks and snowshoeing, to gentle wellness sessions, race-course skiing, or even learning to ski or snowboard for the very first time — combined with spa recovery and unforgettable winter evenings — this is where sport meets wellbeing after transplant.

New to snow sports? This is the perfect opportunity to try skiing or snowboarding in a safe, supportive environment.

For more confident skiers, we will offer a dedicated WTGF race course, expert instructors, and an uplifting atmosphere built around transplant life — all while celebrating fitness, resilience, and life in the Alps.

And when the sun sets, the village comes alive. Join us for welcome drinks, storytelling, karaoke, guest speakers, fun competitions, and authentic winter culture. Together, we will celebrate life after transplant in Anzère, the hometown of our WTGF President and a proud host of the 2012 and 2018 World Transplant Winter Games.

We warmly encourage the global transplant community to join us in Anzère for a fun-filled winter week of community, wellbeing, and celebration.
