Tips

Ski tours are endurance sports. Before the ski touring season, train basic fitness in other endurance sports. The valuable stress stimuli for heart and circulation require good health and self-assessment. Avoid time pressure and increase the intensity and range of your tours slowly. Make sure you have energy reserves for the descent. Fluids, energy, and breaks are necessary to maintain performance and concentration. Hot, isotonic drinks are ideal thirst quenchers and sources of warmth. Muesli bars, dried fruit, and biscuits satisfy small hunger on the way.
