Plan Description
This plan is designed for anyone training to ski one of the classic European hut based ski traverses. Whether you are heading to the Chamonix to Zermatt Haute route, Ortler tour, Silvretta tour, Urner tour, Bernese Oberland tour, or any others, this plan will help you achieve the fitness you need to complete your trip comfortably.
This training plan is written by Larry Goldie, IFMGA guide and veteran of more than 30 multi-day European ski tours. This plan was developed to address the specific demands of ski touring in the Alps and includes tips and gear lists to help you prepare beyond just physical training. Access to a ski area is helpful and incorporated into the plan, but not mandatory. Options are built into the workouts for those living in proximity to snow covered terrain as well as urban dwellers in dry climates with no access to snow.
At Evoke, we often say "There is no such thing as being too fit". If you have extra time, this plan can be lengthened (or shortened) to suit your particular time frame. You can always arrange a phone consultation to help you customize any of our plans to suit your unique situation.
Equipment needed: Heart rate monitor, Backpack, Basic gym, plus a treadmill/incline trainer, stair machine or stairs in a tall building, if you do not have access to steep hills or mountains.
As with any stock training plan, this one is by its very nature a one size fits all approach. Which means that it might fit you as written or it might need adjusting. As mentioned above, you can always arrange a phone consultation to help you customize any of our plans to suit your particular situation. If you have an unusual goal, are dealing with injuries, are just starting out or looking for very high performance, consider trying our custom training plan or coaching as opposed to this stock program. We hope you enjoy getting strong and fit in preparation for your amazing adventure in the Alps!
Because you own this plan forever and can re-apply it as many times as you like, you will also receive any future updates when we next revise it.
