Groups by level, in every sport
You train with people at your own level: nobody struggles to keep up, nobody gets bored. Here's who has already signed up for this trip.
The trip story
A base camp hidden in the pines
Twenty minutes from the ocean, at the end of a pine-lined road, Airial du Branasse is nestled in the heart of five hectares of Landes forest. This 5-star estate has all the makings of an ideal base camp: a large, light-filled living room, a 25-meter heated swimming pool nestled among the trees, an outdoor sauna, a cold plunge pool, an equipped yoga room, and even a pétanque court for end-of-day fun.
Here, no traffic, no noise: just the birds singing when you wake up and the smell of pine trees during your run.
And Seignosse is just a stone's throw away, one of the most beautiful spots on the Landes coast. It's in this bubble that you'll train, recover, and share throughout your stay.

Frequently asked questions
All levels are welcome. Sessions are run in ability groups for each sport, so you progress at your own pace, without struggling or getting bored. You simply state your level when you book, and the coaches adjust the groups on site.
Quite the opposite: most participants arrive on their own. Small groups, a shared table, quiet moments and evenings mean everyone knows each other by the first dinner. It's often where the community's finest friendships are born.
Your bike and helmet, and your swimming and running kit. Household linen is provided on site and there's daily housekeeping. The full, personalised list is emailed to you after you sign up.
Starter, main and dessert at every meal, designed by our nutritionist chef to fuel your effort. Vegetarian, gluten-free, allergies: just tell us when you book and we'll take care of the rest.
When you book, you choose your room subject to availability: suite, double room, triple room or dorm. Detailed descriptions and photos are in the 'What's included' section.
Three options to choose from when you book. Without an option: the general terms apply. Classic option: if your plans change, your trip is refunded as credit valid for 12 months. Premium option: refunded to your original payment method. Full conditions are set out in our terms and conditions.
Yes: every participant must hold valid sports insurance, either through a sports licence (triathlon, cycling, athletics…) or through individual sports insurance. Proof will be requested before the trip.
