The expert's opinion
To fully benefit from this week of traveling training, a minimum level of fitness is required. It's not about speed, but overall comfort: you must be able to swim 1,500m freestyle , cycle 80km and run 20km with ease.
Our goal : to offer you a unique experience—in the water, on your bike, and on your runs—amidst breathtaking scenery. Each day, our routes will take you along the most beautiful roads of Corsica, between sea and mountains, legendary mountain passes, and perched villages. An exceptional playground that matches your ambitions, ideal for varied, challenging, and perfectly balanced training sessions.
A vision that is becoming reality:
"The idea of a traveling internship had been on our minds for over five years. Today, this project is finally coming to life, and the choice of Corsica was obvious: what better setting than this wild, demanding and spectacular island?
Here, swimming, cycling, and running take on a whole new dimension. With two to three training sessions a day as we progress, each day is planned in perfect harmony with the landscape we're traversing. Are you ready to experience an extraordinary adventure—one that's athletic, human, and deeply immersive? We are.
