Running technique, high-altitude training, and pro-level recovery – all combined in one place.
At Sporthotel Zoll, you train with a system, recover with a method, and experience South Tyrol from its most active side.
Whether it’s technique training, performance diagnostics, or long runs in the mountain landscape – this is where runners who want more than just kilometers come to train.
Here, you’ll run through one of the most beautiful mountain regions in South Tyrol – with diverse routes for every level. Whether it’s flat terrain along the valley floor for technique drills, panoramic trails with elevation profiles, or interval loops right from the hotel: Your run starts right at the hotel door.
And for those who want to push their limits, there are legendary racecourse sections to conquer – at 1,000 meters above sea level, where training truly makes an impact.

Want to know what to expect? Here are the benefits that will take your training in the Running Elite Program to the next level:
Exclusive access to the method that has helped over 30,000 runners – now only at Sporthotel Zoll.
Video analysis for running economy + spiroergometry (VO₂max/VT1/VT2) – precise zone and technique control.
BIA provides composition & phase angle for targeted load management, while the Body Check identifies your current physical condition.
Functional strength and stability training on 700 m² – with free weight zones, Keiser systems, and running tracks for focused performance development.
1,000-meter altitude, variable routes, and targeted load control – for measurable adaptation.
Precise analysis of strength, balance, and movement to identify individual weaknesses and improve running performance.
Cryo, Dryfloat, Cold Tubs & Compression activate recovery and accelerate healing.
Carb loading, train low, recovery nutrition – evidence-based strategies for performance and regeneration.
App-supported training control, feedback loops, and follow-up after eight weeks – for measurable progress beyond your stay.
At Sporthotel Zoll, you train where performance is measurable:
With gait & running analysis, spiroergometry, and VALD muscle function tests.
At 1,000 meters above sea level, you’ll combine technique, training, and recovery into one system – for progress that lasts.
How long can you hold your breath after a gentle exhalation?
This simple test shows how efficiently your body handles CO₂ – a key factor for endurance and recovery.
Here’s how it works:
You need a stopwatch and a few minutes of calm.
The better your CO₂ tolerance, the calmer and more controlled your breathing stays under load – and the longer you can maintain your pace.
Train your breathing and improve your running economy with the Running Elite Program.
Together with Die Laufschule, Europe’s largest running training network, we rely on a scientifically-based running concept: From gait and running analysis to technique training and neuromuscular development – tailored to your running goals.
This partnership keeps us at the forefront of the latest training and movement science – so your running style becomes more efficient, safer, and stronger.

Our mission is to harmoniously combine the three pillars of the Rest.Revive.Refuel© philosophy. Through targeted analyses, you will receive personalised advice for your holiday and for your life at home as well, enabling you to feel good on all levels and to express your full potential.
Recovery isn’t just downtime – it’s training at the cellular level.
During recovery, your body implements the stimuli from your running training, repairs muscle fibers, stabilizes the nervous system, and optimizes energy delivery.
We show you how to control your recovery with targeted methods (Cryo, Dryfloat, Mobility & HRV-Coaching) and how to get faster in the long run.
Every movement is a stimulus – and every stimulus shapes performance.
The better your running technique and neuromuscular control, the more efficient every stride becomes.
With spiroergometry, video running analysis, and VALD muscle function tests, we analyze your movement and metabolic parameters.
This way, you train with structure, in the optimal intensity zone – from technique drills to long runs.
Performance only happens when your body is fueled.
Nutrition is your fuel – before, during, and after the run.
Our nutrition therapist will show you how to use carb loading, train-low strategies, and recovery nutrition to control energy and accelerate recovery.
This way, every meal becomes part of your training plan.
