With some multi-sports weeks you will discuss with your instructor what activities you’d prefer to do as a group. The weather can also affect which sports you do throughout your week, but there will be plenty of choices available whatever the weather.

Yes, you will be in the same UCPA centre destination for the whole week. There may be some away days and nights, depending on the activity, but this will usually be included in your holiday package (please check your typical itinerary). Most UCPA centres have access to a huge range of sports equipment on site, so it would only be if you have to travel to a canyon for example or a via ferrata route.

There is plenty of free time on a multisport week yes. Most days you do one activity in the morning or afternoon and then relax for the rest of the day. Some days will be full days out, but there will definitely be time for you to explore the area with friends or relax on the beach.
