After arriving at Bologna Airport, the journey continues by transfer bus to Hotel Marinella in Gabicce Mare. The drive takes approx. 1.5–2 hours.

We start the day at 07:30 with a group workout before gathering for breakfast at the hotel. Remember to bring your own yoga mat.

At 09:30, we meet the local guide at reception, ready for today's hike through Parco Naturale del Monte San Bartolo. The nature park stretches along the Adriatic coast between Gabicce Mare and Pesaro, offering scenic hiking trails, green hillsides, and beautiful ocean views.

The hike starts from the hotel in Gabicce Mare and follows small paths up towards the village of Gabicce Monte. From there, we continue through the undulating coastal landscape to the charming village of Casteldimezzo, before walking down to the small harbor of Porto di Vallugola.

Here we take a pleasant break with the opportunity for coffee and a bite to eat (not included). Afterwards, a boat trip back to Gabicce Mare awaits (included), where we get to experience the stunning coastline from the sea.

The hike is approx. 6 km and traverses hilly terrain. Expect around 3–4 hours for the entire excursion, including the boat trip.

The rest of the afternoon is at your leisure. Perhaps a few hours on the beach or a refreshing dip in the Adriatic Sea sounds tempting?

Group dinner in the evening (included).

Perhaps a few hours on the beach, a stroll in lovely Gabicce Mare, or a long lunch at one of the local restaurants (not included) appeals to you?

At 16:00, we gather for an energetic workout with varied exercises and lots of joy of movement! The session ends with a lovely swim for those who wish.

Today we will experience another side of the area around Gabicce Mare. We leave the coast behind us and follow small paths and gravel roads through green forested areas, lush vegetation, and the rolling landscape inland of Monte San Bartolo.

Along the way, we pass small farms and get to experience rural Italy up close. One of today's highlights will be the visit to a local winery! Here we take a well-deserved break from the hike and enjoy a light lunch (included) in pleasant surroundings. A great opportunity to experience some of the culinary culture the area is famous for, and enjoy the Italian atmosphere.

Day 5Tabata, relaxation, and time to enjoy the Adriatic coast

We start the day with an energetic combination session of approx. 90 minutes. First on the program is Tabata, with intervals that raise the heart rate and put the muscles to work. Then we slow down the pace with a good relaxation session. A wonderful combination of effort and tranquility!

It might be a good idea to get some energy in before training, such as a banana or something else light to eat.

After the session, a well-deserved breakfast awaits at the hotel.

The rest of the day is at your leisure. Perhaps you fancy a few hours on the beach, a stroll in Gabicce Mare, or a long, pleasant lunch at one of the local restaurants? Lunch is not included.

At 09:30, we meet our local guide, who gives us a brief walkthrough of today's hike. Then we set off towards the beautiful medieval town of Gradara, known for its impressive castle, well-preserved city walls, and fascinating history.

We follow small paths through the rolling landscape, with fine viewpoints along the way. Once in Gradara, one of the area's most charming small towns awaits, with narrow cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and an impressive fortress towering over the town.

Here we get the opportunity to walk along the town walls and enjoy the view over both the town and the surrounding countryside. We also have time to stroll through the pleasant streets before gathering for a delicious Italian lunch at a local trattoria (included).

The hike is approx. 10 km and traverses hilly terrain, but is not considered particularly demanding.

Back at the hotel, there will be time for sun, swimming, and relaxation. If several people wish, we will also arrange an extra workout session.
