Home › Retreats › HYROX Swiss Camp: Altitude Training at 1,500m in the Alps
Switzerland · 7 days
Chalet Les Rahas sits in Grimentz, a village in the Valais canton of Switzerland, at over 1,500 metres altitude. The HYROX Swiss Camp is the first HYROX-focused training camp in the Swiss Alps. The training area is an outdoor terrace equipped with Concept2 RowERG, Concept2 SkiERG, wall balls, functional weights, and zones for mobility and conditioning. You train with a view of the Alps, which is a different experience from a indoor box.
Training at 1,500m+ increases the demand on your heart and lungs from the first session. Over a week, your body adapts to thinner air, improving oxygen efficiency and building the aerobic base that matters for HYROX racing. Sessions are tailored to your level and race calendar. A typical day might include a morning conditioning session on the terrace, a midday mobility or recovery block, and an afternoon interval session. The recovery facilities — cold room, sauna, hammam, and hot tub — are used between sessions to reduce inflammation and accelerate adaptation.
The camp is fully customisable. You can book as an individual athlete, a training group, an elite athlete, or a coach with a team. You can bring your own coach or ask for introductions to local trainers. You can choose your accommodation setup and duration. The team works directly with you to design the right week.
Beyond training, Les Rahas is a luxury mountain retreat. The chalet has premium apartments and chalets designed for comfort and recovery, panoramic terraces, and direct mountain access for summer trails or winter alpine activities. The environment is calm and quiet, designed for focus. Athletes tend to sleep deeper here and train sharper.
This is not a packaged retreat with a fixed schedule. It's a performance destination where the training, recovery, and accommodation are built around you. That makes it ideal for HYROX competitors, hybrid athletes, functional fitness enthusiasts, coaches, and private groups who want a serious training week in a serious location.
