The ultimate Italian experience! This camp is designed to build your endurance to prepare you for your summertime goals. We are just adding in Italian roads, food, and of course, the Giro. During the camp, we’ll ride out to see the Giro pass by, we’ll have VIP passes for the finish of a Giro stage and ride the roads of Marco Pantani’s youth.
The camp is seven days of riding and seven nights accommodation at Hotel Kursaal. This is a 4-star hotel sits on the beach and less than 20 minutes from some of the most demanding Italian climbs. All rides start and finish at the hotel.
Our host, Kelly Gerla, and her staff are seasoned, efficient and sports-minded, and uniquely able to assist riders before, during, and after their daily training rides. Many professional teams and riders that compete in the UCI World Tour calendar request the Hotel Kursaal as a base for their trainings and also when they compete in the area because they always find a warm welcome and impeccable organization that always meets and exceed their requirements.
We welcome riders of Intermediate to advanced levels prepared to ride 20-25 hours in a week. We do not leave any riders behind and will have adequate staff to manage riders of different abilities.
