Description

Alpine Swift Trails is not just a place to stay; it's a dedicated high-altitude training destination designed for serious athletes and adventurous nature lovers. Situated at a breathtaking 1,800 metres above sea level near the town of Rhodes, it offers the perfect environment for runners, hikers, and mountain bikers looking to push their limits and improve their performance. The thin, clean mountain air and rugged terrain create a natural training ground unlike any other.

The accommodation here is intentionally rustic and communal, designed to foster a sense of camaraderie among like-minded individuals. The campsite is a simple, back-to-basics affair, offering un-demarcated stands on a beautiful grassed area. It embraces an off-grid philosophy, with no electricity points at the sites, encouraging a genuine connection with the magnificent natural surroundings. These sites are supported by clean ablution facilities with reliable gas-heated showers. For those who prefer, a range of basic rooms and bunkhouses are also available.

The heart and soul of Alpine Swift Trails are the trails themselves. The farm is crisscrossed by an incredible network of well-marked running and hiking trails, ranging from gentle river loops to punishing mountain ascents. It's a place where you can spend your days challenging yourself in a spectacular landscape, and your evenings sharing stories around a communal campfire under a vast, starry sky.
