High-altitude triathlon camp: swim, bike, run

- Bike: the roads of the Cerdagne and Capcir, with rolling valleys around Lake Matemale (about 1,540 m) for endurance and climbs up to Pyrénées 2000 for hill work.
- Run: the 400 m athletics track at the Colette-Besson stadium at the CNEA, and the trails of La Calme and Pyrénées 2000 (around 2,100 m) for trail running and intervals.
- At the chalet: a closed garage to store bikes, a boot dryer for 18 pairs, a hot tub for recovery and a large table for team meals.
Coach's tip: ease off the intensity for the first few days while you adjust to the altitude, and drink plenty – the air is dry.
