As last years the Swiss Cross-Country team started the new training season under the Italian sun in Sardinia.

World Cup coach Ivan Hudac and his team set last week first foundations for the winter season. The holiday resort in Tirreno could not suit better for Cross-Country skiers. Good food, a lot of sun, sand and swimming pool to chill out, roads for cycling. Besides from cyclins, also roller skiing and running was on the training programme.
