Why Join This Triathlon Camp?
The week is demanding yet balanced, with sessions chosen for their purpose rather than volume for the sake of it. You swim, bike and run in small groups, each at your own level, guided by coaches who understand real triathlon progression.
You finish the camp feeling sharper, more confident and far more aware of your strengths on race day.
Our team includes former professionals and Ironman champions, but what makes them special is how they coach. They see every athlete, not just the fastest ones.
Technique sessions, analysis and feedback are friendly, detailed and focused on making you a better version of yourself, not someone else.
Training hard is only half the story. Recovering well is what makes you progress. From spa sessions to balanced meals to quiet corners overlooking Lake Thun, the setting helps you arrive at every session ready.
It turns a demanding training camp into a refreshing escape where effort meets comfort.
