Training Tourism

Located at 2,000 meters above sea level, Pas de la Casa offers ideal conditions for high-performance training in endurance and strength sports, tailored to the needs of both sports teams and individual athletes. The altitude and the mountainous environment provide physiological advantages that make this destination a perfect place for altitude training.

Some physiological benefits that can significantly improve athletic performance include:

Increased red blood cell production: As the body adapts to the lower oxygen levels in the atmosphere, it produces more red blood cells to enhance the capacity to transport oxygen to the muscles. This improves endurance and performance in aerobic activities such as athletics, swimming, and cycling.
Improved aerobic capacity: Training at high altitude strengthens the cardiovascular system and improves respiratory efficiency, which is essential for endurance sports and team sports such as football, basketball, handball, and ice hockey.
Optimized recovery time: Altitude also stimulates the production of hormones that promote muscle regeneration and speed up recovery after intensive training sessions.
