From 27 February to 1 March 2026, the picturesque alpine town of Berchtesgaden hosted the FESA Games 2026, welcoming Europe’s most promising young alpine skiers for an inspiring weekend of international competition.

The FESA Games are built around the idea of creating a vibrant space where young athletes come together for their first taste of international competition. It is more than just a series of events—it is an opportunity for aspiring talents from different countries to connect, challenge one another, and share the excitement of performing on an international stage.

With participants arriving from all corners of Middle Europe, the FESA Games once again demonstrated their unique blend of  high-level competition. For many U16 athletes, Berchtesgaden marked a defining milestone: the first opportunity to represent their nations internationally, build friendships across borders, and gain valuable experience for their future athletic careers. The spirit of the FESA Games extends beyond podium places—it embodies a shared passion for winter sports and a strong sense of unity across nations.
