Opening to the general public is scheduled for Q2-Q3 2025.
Eat, sleep and train at 4,500 meters in Flanders.
Our resort, with its customizable altitude settings from 0m to 4500m, allows you to experience the challenges and benefits of altitude training as the professionals do. Not only in the bedrooms, but also in our other facilities - from ice baths, spa, dining room, cinemas, gym to hobby rooms - we can simulate altitude conditions.
High altitude training has become indispensable in the preparation of elite athletes. Training at high altitude, where oxygen concentration is lower, stimulates the body to produce more red blood cells. This increases oxygen uptake, improves endurance and optimizes athletic performance.
Did you know that it is scientifically proven that altitude training not only improves the performance of athletes, but can also increase the focus and productivity of teams? During the Monte Marcella Congress Camp, we combine the benefits of altitude training with interactive workshops and inspiring sessions.
There is a consensus in the sports world that the best results are achieved with the principle of "live high, train low. Training is preferably done at sea level, while sleeping and living at high altitudes. This concept, which exploits the advantages of high altitude training without the disadvantages of lower oxygen levels during intensive training, is perfectly integrated into Monte Marcella's facilities.
Emphasizing the crucial role of team spirit, Monte Marcella offers common height rooms. Not only in the bedrooms but also common areas at height such as the media room, wellness, living room, dining area and more, which provide a perfect setting for relaxation and social interactions, all within an exclusive and homely atmosphere.
This is a unique concept of which we have a patent have.
At Monte Marcella you are in the heart of Flanders cycling paradise, a place every cycling enthusiast dreams of. Our resort is perfectly located as a starting point for unforgettable cycling tours.
Within an hour of pedaling you will reach the top of the Kemmelberg, while the legendary slopes of the Flemish Ardennes are just a stone's throw away
Experience numerous workout and relaxation facilities designed to appeal to both the athletic adventurer and the family. Enjoy the luxury of complete privacy, premium facilities and a home-like atmosphere that combine to ensure an unforgettable experience.
EXCELLENT Based on 23 reviews jelle wallays2024-10-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful stay, as an ex-pro cyclist I would have preferred to use these facilities earlier so I could get even more out of my carreire. You can definitely do this once if you want to live like a pro athlete or to take your own sports carreire to the next level.

Monte Marcella Resort is an absolute gem for athletes and active travelers! The rooms are amazing, featuring AC and an altitude meter, making the stay both comfortable and matching an experience alike staying in a mountain resort. The 25m infinity pool offers incredibly smooth swims, while the Hypoxic gym provides a unique fitness experience that I highly recommend for anyone wanting to test training at altitude. For relaxation, the resort boasts vast common areas, including a fun game room with billiard and darts, and wellness options like a sauna, steam room, infrared chamber, and resting loungers. A well-equipped onsite kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals, and the proximity to grocery stores is a bonus. This resort was the perfect starting point for cycling and running across the beautiful Flanders region. Highly recommended for cyclists and triathletes looking to explore the iconic routes whilst savoring a bit of luxury and relaxation! John Bateson2024-08-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was incredibly lucky to try out this facility as part of the soft launch. This is a 1st class facility that will quickly become a World Class facility. If you are an individual looking for some stealth training, part of a group looking to tackle the Flandrien challenge or a Team in need of a dedicated facility, you will find it all and more at Monte Marcella. The rooms are comfortable with enough storage space if you are sharing. This is made easier with the use of the onsite washing machine and tumble drier. There are also drying racks also for all your Lycra needs. The AC and altitude controls are easy to use and QR codes provide more details online if needed. There is a good gym for 1 or 2 people training at the same time and a separate cardio room. 2 Treadmills, Kickr bikes and indoor trainers are available to use. there is also plenty of space if you want to set up a fitness testing station at the same time which we did. The deck level, outdoor 25 meter heated pool will allow 3 individuals their own lanes or more running laps sharing. For recovery the sauna, steam and red light therapy are all available after a time in the ice baths. If you have a therapist with you then the massage room is there for also. The media theatre is perfect for Team presentations or watching a movie or YouTube. A fully stocked industrial style kitchen is perfect for everything from heating some pre-made pasta in the microwave to a Team with a dedicated chef who needs everything at their fingertips. A walk in chiller and freezer has more than enough storage. Crockery and cutlery galore will cover everyone's needs. To relax the common areas are prefect with a mixture of tables and couch's with a beautiful view onto the pool or a large screen TV for any other viewing needs. I cannot recommend this facility highly enough. Once the bike maintenance and storage areas are completed along with the last of the landscaping, i have no doubt this place will be booked solid. What are you waiting for? Book yourself in now! Alison Kirrage2024-08-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The most amazing Altitude Resort.
