South Tyrol · 7 days
A typical day is set by the team, not by the hotel. Athletes are up early for a first session on the roads or trails that leave directly from the property, back for breakfast, then out again for a second block. The altitude is the point: at 2,000 m the body works harder for the same effort, and teams stay for several days to several weeks to get the effect. Afternoon sessions are followed by recovery in the spa, and meal times can be moved to fit around training.
What separates this from a standard sports hotel is the position. Jochgrimm sits right on the mountain pass, so there are no long bus transfers to the start of a route. In summer, the Dolomite passes around the hotel give climbing and interval work; in winter, the Lavazè cross-country skiing centre is close by and the altitude means reliable snow. The surroundings are quiet, which coaches name as a reason they book: few distractions, consistent conditions.
Coaching and specific training plans are not included as standard. The hotel says cooperations and additional support can be organised on request, with the setup depending on the period, the sport and what the team needs. So a club can arrive with its own coach, or ask the hotel to help arrange support.
Groups are housed in comfortable rooms at the hotel, with energy-rich sports nutrition built into the meal plan and flexible serving times. Everything — rooms, restaurant, spa, pool, training routes — is on one site, which is what makes multi-session days practical.
The camp runs in both seasons. Possible periods are late May to July, and September, December, January and March. Dates, capacities and offers depend on the season, group size and training focus, so the hotel asks teams to send a direct request so accommodation, nutrition, training times and extra services can be coordinated together.
