Walking & ascent time planner
Combine your walking pace, ascent allowance and planned breaks.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
Adds distance/assumed pace, ascent/assumed vertical rate and planned breaks. The two movement components are additive planning allowances. Does not estimate pace from fitness, descent, terrain, weather, load or daylight; use inputs appropriate to the intended route and group.

Worked example
A fixed demonstration, separate from the values you enter above.
- Route distance (km)
- 10
- Assumed horizontal pace (km/h)
- 4
- Total ascent (m)
- 600
- Ascent allowance (metres per extra hour)
- 600
- Planned breaks (minutes)
- 15
Example result
- Planned total (hours)
- 3.75
- Planned total (minutes)
- 225
- Horizontal movement allowance (hours)
- 2.5
- Extra ascent allowance (hours)
- 1
- Break allowance (minutes)
- 15
