Forte Village in Sardinia will add a new dimension to its world‑class sports offering this August as it prepares to host an elite Olympic Fencing Academy led by some of the sport’s most celebrated athletes.

The resort, already known for attracting top‑tier coaching talent across football, tennis and cycling, is positioning the programme as a rare opportunity for young athletes to train at the highest level in a Mediterranean setting.

The academy will be led by Olympic and World Championship medallists, bringing together a roster of international fencing talent for an intensive summer programme. Participants will receive technical training, tactical development and one‑to‑one coaching, with sessions designed to mirror the discipline and precision of professional competition. For aspiring fencers, it offers access to expertise that is typically reserved for national‑level athletes.

For Forte Village, the initiative reinforces its reputation as one of Europe’s leading sports‑focused resorts. Its combination of high‑performance facilities, specialist academies and a climate that allows year‑round training has long made it a draw for families seeking active holidays and for young athletes looking to sharpen their skills.

The fencing academy adds a new layer to that appeal, particularly as interest in the sport continues to grow ahead of upcoming Olympic cycles. With Sardinia’s coastline as the backdrop, the programme blends elite training with the resort’s signature leisure offering — a balance that has become central to Forte Village’s brand.

For business‑travel readers planning family summer trips or seeking high‑quality youth training options, the academy represents a compelling addition to the resort’s already extensive sports calendar.
