HIF allows young talents and students interested in sports to combine competitive or leisure sports with a high-quality academic program of their choice without increasing the duration of their school education. Athletes are integrated into one of the regular academic programs. Special support and mentoring programs ensure the coordination between athletics and academics. Participation in the sports academy is, therefore, possible at any time and in combination with any of our academic programs.

Independence and the development of one’s personality are at the core of our philosophy. We encourage our students to take responsibility for themselves and hope to lay the foundations for them living fulfilling lives. We will be responsive to the needs and the development of each student, regardless of his or her performance level. Motivation and pleasure are the decisive elements in achieving the school’s objectives in both athletics and academics.

HIF Sports Academy is located amidst the breathtaking landscape of the Lower Engadine and is proud of its high profile athletic facilities.

Our gym is equipped with trampoline and airtrack, ergometers, treadmills, a large weight room, gymnastics and therapy rooms. We further have two tennis courts, one football field, a 100 m sprint track, a skateboard mini ramp, slackline, outdoor trampolines as well as countless biking and hiking trails at the school’s doorstep. During the winter, HIF has direct access to cross-country skiing tracks, a biathlon rifle range, the skiing resort Scuol Motta Naluns including a freestyle park as well as countless winter hiking trails.
