Our Team

Born from a shared love of mountain adventures and the reality of city living, we created The Alpines to bridge the gap between urban life and alpine pursuits. Like many mountain enthusiasts, we found ourselves struggling to maintain peak fitness for those precious weeks of skiing and summer hiking in Europe's most beautiful ranges.

Our journey began with a simple question: How can we stay mountain-ready while living far from the peaks? The answer became The Alpines – a training system specifically designed for mountain lovers who spend most of their year away from high altitude. We understand the unique demands of mountain sports, from the quad-burning descents of powder days to the lung-busting climbs of alpine trails.

The Alpines isn't just about getting fit – it's about building lasting strength and endurance that serves you on every adventure. Our mission is to help you (and ourselves) develop robust, capable bodies that can tackle any mountain challenge, whether that's a week-long hiking tour in the Alps or a season of backcountry skiing. We're committed to creating a community of strong, prepared adventurers who can pursue their mountain passions well into their golden years.
