An active holiday with Sprek Treningssenter
This week, we combine workouts and hikes with enjoyable excursions, beach life, and plenty of time to enjoy the Italian holiday atmosphere.
A tour leader from Sprek leads varied training sessions throughout your stay. Some days we start with gentle morning yoga, while other days feature strength training, Tabata, and cardio workouts on the schedule. We also set aside time for relaxation and recovery.
The workouts take place outdoors on a dedicated platform right by the beach. We mainly use our own body weight and resistance bands, and the sessions are tailored to the group.
Remember to bring your own exercise mat/yoga mat.
Three hikes โ from coastal paths to charming Italian towns
During the week, we set out on three different hikes with a local guide. We will experience the Adriatic coast from above, hike through green hills, and visit one of the area's most famous medieval towns.
Parco Naturale del Monte San Bartolo โ approx. 6 km
We follow small trails through the natural park, via Gabicce Monte and Casteldimezzo, before descending to the small harbour of Porto di Vallugola. Here, we take a break before boarding the boat back to Gabicce Mare. Along the way, we get to experience the coast from both land and sea.
Hike with a vineyard visit โ approx. 9โ11 km
We leave the coast behind and hike through woodlands, small farming areas, and rolling hills. Along the way, we visit a local vineyard, where we take a well-deserved break and enjoy a light lunch (included). Here, we get to experience rural Italy, complete with local flavours and a completely different tranquility than down by the beach.
Hike to Gradara โ approx. 10 km
We hike through the hilly landscape to the medieval town of Gradara, known for its impressive castle and well-preserved town walls. Here, we have time to stroll through the narrow streets, enjoy the views, and feel the history embedded in the ancient walls. We also gather for lunch at a local trattoria (included).
How demanding is the trip?
The hikes are approx. 6โ11 km long and take place mainly on trails and gravel paths in hilly terrain. There will be some uphills along the way, but the hikes are not particularly technically demanding.
The training programme offers both gentle and more intense sessions, featuring a mix of yoga, strength, cardio, and relaxation. The sessions are tailored to the group.
It is an advantage to be used to being active and to enjoy an active holiday, but you do not need to be in peak physical shape to enjoy the trip.
Beach life and Italian holiday atmosphere
Between activities, there will be plenty of time to enjoy Gabicce Mare. The hotel is located right by the beach, so it is just a short walk for a dip in the Adriatic Sea or a few relaxing hours in the sun.
You can also stroll through the streets of Gabicce Mare, visit the neighbouring town of Cattolica, or settle down at a cafรฉ with a good Italian coffee.
We have planned a week filled with experiences, but also with plenty of room to unwind, enjoy long meals, and simply be on holiday.
