"Kuortane is without doubt the best location for a training camp I could ever have wished to work in during my volleyball career. The place is fantastic, the nature awesome, everything is very quiet and allows athletes to focus on training in an ideal way. The excellence of the training performance is guaranteed by the excellence of the facilities: volleyball (...and not only volleyball) courts, weight rooms, medical assistance, hotel, food and the huge kindness of all the Kuortane’s staff. You can add to this a perfect picture stunning sunset over the lake that is giving the final ‘plus’ to one of the best sport centers I’ve ever seen all over the world. I have fantastic memories of Kuortane and a great wish to return there." |
