Udine Travel Guide

This page is a guide only. It contains recommendations from either TMs, Referees or Parents from previous seasons.  Venues or official hotels may change for the current season so we recommend that you check the reglement’s before confirming any travel arrangements.  If you are booking hotels before the reglement is out, we advise you may want to consider booking with free cancellation as it is not guaranteed that competition details will stay the same.

Transfers
Official transfers have been available to and from Venice Marco Polo airport and Triest TRS and Treviso TFS for €50 Euro return.  Athletes are responsible for paying for this on arrival either to the manager or the organisers.

Previous feedback from team staff is for athletes to use the official transfers as they are well run and the best mode of transport to and from the airport and also to and from the venue from the contracted hotels on the invitation.
