Competitions, trainings and holidays
France and particularily the area of Clermont-Ferrand, where the World Cup took place in October 2006 really has some of the most challening terrains to be found anywhere.

Probably the best place to improve technical skills!



We book you in at very nice and  fully equipped bungalows, right on the map of Aydat.
From the bungalows you can reach running 5 trainings ( one night training)
