OPATIJA & RIJEKA
WESTERN CROATIA
Although not on the main tourist maps, Opatija and neighbouring Rijeka arguably make the most complete training camp location in Croatia. Opatija is a Habsburg-built elegant resort offering varied accommodation options and serving as great starting point for open water swimming, running and cycling. Only seven kilometres away lies Rijeka, with its world-class Kantrida swimming pool complex, a brand new indoor athletics hall and the legendary Kantrida stadium. Four excellent hardwood-floored indoor halls complete the picture of this truly multi-purpose micro-location.

SPLIT & HVAR
CENTRAL DALMATIA
Split is the second biggest Croatian city with history spanning to the Roman Empire. The city has a moderate Mediterranean climate and it is perfect for all year-round outdoor training, with plentiful indoor possibilities as the city hosted the Mediterranean Games and 15th European Games which include Poljud stadium, 50 meter sized pool, multi-purpose halls, athletic stadium and tennis courts. Just across the channel is the island of Hvar, which profiled itself as a great triathlon and open water destination with one of the best bike and running trails around with superb accommodation options.

DUBROVNIK
SOUTHERN DALMATIA
Dubrovnik is the most famous Croatian city, with its rich history and culture making it a highly sought-after filming location for movies and shows like the Game of Thrones. The city is an ideal destination for sport enthusiasts who would prefer for their training location to be set in a vibrant and picturesque environment. The mild Mediterranean climate and access to up-to-date outdoor and indoor training facilities like a 50-m pool, tennis courts, sports hall, running and trekking trails all complete the picture of this truly unique limestone city.

BLED & KRANJ
SLOVENIA
Situated in northern Slovenia near the Triglav National Park, Bled and Kranj present a rare multi-sports micro-location that combines the best of Alpine nature and lakes (Bled) with top sporting infrastructure (Kranj). The region is appealing for both summer sport activities, like cycling, swimming in cool blue Bled lake or one of Kranj’s two 50-m pools, hiking on trails, as well as indoor activities in the multi-purpose hall and trekking and as well winter sports. In the afternoon, after a hard training, you can enjoy the famous Bled kremšnite (Bled cream cake).
"By any measure, this is certainly one of the best facilities in the world to train in even if you didn’t have the sea behind you. But if you have the sea behind you with this kind of facility, it’s as good as I have ever seen in the world – better than any facility in the United States."
