ENDURANCE STAGE VERSILIA – AV APUANE PARK

The TRM Endurance Stage AV Apuane Park is a technical training session that takes place entirely in the National Park of the Apuan Alps, in Tuscany – Italy, near the seaside area of Versilia. The Apuan Alps are very special unique mountains with rugged peaks and vertical walls. They are known for the production of marble and the huge underground karst cavities, as well as for their rich Mediterranean flora and fauna.

The trails of the Stage – training area of the TRM Team Athletes all year round – combine technical features of medium difficulty and landscaped-naturalistic aspects like Lake Vagli that houses since 1947 the submerged village of Fabbriche di Careggine, the giant cave Antro del Corchia (one of the widest caves in the world formed 5 million years ago) with its majestic columns of stalactites and stalagmites and the Wind Cave that hides fascinating underground paths, as as well as karst formations, streamsponds and vertical wells. In the same area there are renowned small towns of cultural and the historical importance like: Forte dei MarmiCamaiorePietrasantaStazzema.

The Endurance Stage is designed to optimize the physical preparation thanks to multi-day workouts that allow you to accumulate kilometers and elevation (D+) minimizing the risk of injuries and improve your knowledge in sport nutrition and supplementation.
