We will welcome you at the airport and transfer to Salò, Lake Garda. After settling in to your chosen hotel, we will join you for complimentary pre dinner aperitifs* and go over your course itinerary.

Later, you may wish to dine lakeside enjoying traditional food with some good local wines to sample. We are always happy to recommend restaurants and make reservations on your behalf. You may want to take a stroll along the promenade after dinner to experience the local nightlife!

Day 2:

After breakfast, we will meet at 9.30 in Piazza Vittoria for the short walk to the training room to begin group time from 10.00 - 12.30.

Following the morning session, there are many lakeside cafes and restaurants where you can take lunch, relax with drinks and people watch - do as the Italians do!

Later in the afternoon, Gordon offers a free orientation/points of interest walk through the town with complimentary drink* on the way, followed by free time.
