Snowsports Academy and Ischgl at the BOSS OPEN 2026: Roller ski track brings skiing back to Stuttgart's summer

Skiing in June, right in the heart of Stuttgart, next to world-class tennis: In 2026, the Snowsports Academy, as a partner of Ischgl, was once again present at the BOSS OPEN at the TC Weissenhof with its roller ski track . What had already garnered considerable attention the previous year was significantly further developed this year.

Skifahren im Juni, mitten in Stuttgart: Die Rollskipiste machte Wintersport bei den BOSS OPEN 2026 direkt erlebbar.

Ischgl is a premium partner of the BOSS OPEN and once again used the international tennis tournament as a high-quality platform to showcase winter sports in the summer. Together with the Snowsports Academy, this presence was made directly tangible for visitors through the roller ski slope.

Even more integrated: the roller ski slope at the Activity Court

A key difference compared to 2025 was the significantly improved location. This year, the roller ski track was situated at the Activity Court, close to the Center Court, and thus right in the middle of the area where numerous interactive stations, activities, and visitor areas were located.

Der Standort am Activity Court sorgte 2026 für mehr Sichtbarkeit, bessere Aufenthaltsqualität und eine stärkere Einbindung in das Eventgelände.

This location made a noticeable difference. The roller ski slope wasn't tucked away on the edge of the grounds, but was directly integrated into the action. Visitors automatically passed by it, stopped, watched other guests' first attempts, and often spontaneously decided to try skiing themselves.

Especially on busy days, weekends, and in the afternoons, the stand was consistently crowded. Within the Activity Court, the roller ski track was clearly one of the most eye-catching areas – not only because of the size of the stand, but also because of the movement, the music, the people, and the immediate attention it generated.

Skiing in summer: an unforgettable experience

The unique appeal of the roller ski track lies in the contrast. While top-level international tennis was being played on the grass court just a few meters away, visitors could try their hand at skiing in the middle of June. This very moment repeatedly elicited surprised reactions: skiing in summer, right in the heart of Stuttgart, at the BOSS OPEN.

Many children took the opportunity to try out the roller ski track. Numerous beginners also stood on skis for the first time or after a long time. It was particularly exciting to see how quickly some progressed. Some participants were even able to make their first turns after a short introduction. Thus, in 2026, the roller ski track was more than just an attraction. It provided direct access to skiing – not theoretically, not through pictures or videos, but through real movement and immediate experience.

Snowsports Academy and Ischgl: a partnership you can rely on.

The strong collaboration between Ischgl and the Snowsports Academy was once again central to the event's success in 2026. As a premium partner of the BOSS OPEN, Ischgl focused on an activation that made winter sports immediately tangible within the summer event environment. The Snowsports Academy was on-site as Ischgl's partner, responsible for managing the roller ski track, ensuring professional operation, and providing expert guidance at the booth.

This collaboration demonstrates what's possible when an internationally renowned winter sports brand and an experienced snow sports partner join forces. Ischgl brings the appeal, the brand, and the clear positioning in winter sports. The Snowsports Academy contributes the technical expertise, the personnel, the experience in teaching skiing, and the operational competence for implementation. This is precisely the Snowsports Academy's strength: bringing skiing to people in a professional, safe, and accessible way.

BOSS OPEN, Ischgl Trophy and the connection between tennis and winter sports

The Ischgl Trophy, which is being held for the second time this year, also played an important role in this context. A press conference was held during the BOSS OPEN to announce this year's Ischgl Trophy, which will take place in Ischgl from December 2nd to 5th, 2026.

Im Rahmen der BOSS OPEN wurde auch die Ischgl Trophy 2026 angekündigt, die von 2. bis 5. Dezember in Ischgl stattfinden wird.

Among those present were Tommy Haas, Edwin Weindorfer, CEO of the e|motion Group, Tobias Bosch, tournament director of the BOSS OPEN, Alexander von der Thannen, chairman of the Paznaun-Ischgl tourism association, and Günther Zangerl, board member of Silvretta Seilbahn AG.

This made it clear: The connection between Stuttgart, the BOSS OPEN, and Ischgl is not a single event moment, but part of a long-term collaboration. The roller ski track of the Snowsports Academy was a visible and tangible component of this connection.

A performance that builds on 2025 and clearly continues into 2026.

For Ischgl, the BOSS OPEN 2026 meant a strong presence in a high-quality sporting environment. And for the Snowsports Academy, it was another example of how skiing can be taught professionally and accessibly outside the traditional winter season.

Das Team der Snowsports Academy war 2026 als Partner von Ischgl mit der Rollskipiste bei den BOSS OPEN in Stuttgart vor Ort.

The BOSS OPEN 2026 showed that when Ischgl and the Snowsports Academy come together, winter sports don't just happen in the mountains. They happen wherever people become curious, stop to watch, and try it out for themselves.
