Choosing your ski touring
Touring skis: explore the mountains in freedom
Touring skis are designed for adventurers looking for both performance on the way up and fun on the way down. Perfect for exploring unmarked terrain, these skis offer great versatility and the light weight needed to make ascents easier, while guaranteeing excellent stability on descents, even on difficult snow.
Why choose touring skis?
Ski touring combines the pleasure of downhill skiing with the freedom of discovering wilderness away from ski lifts when you get off the slopes. Thanks to their special bindings that allow the heel to be released when ascending and blocked when descending, touring skis allow you to explore varied landscapes while offering efficient performance on all types of snow.
Features of touring skis :
- Lightweight: The lightweight construction of these skis, often in wood composite, carbon or fibreglass, is designed to reduce fatigue when climbing.
- Versatility: Their versatile shape means they can tackle both gentle slopes and more technical terrain.
- Specific bindings: They are adapted for sealskins and ascents, while ensuring maximum safety on descents.
- Skins: These essential accessories can be attached to the underside of the skis to give you optimum grip on ascents.
- Width and rocker: The choice of ski width and rocker (raised front) will depend on your preference for lightness on ascents and stability on descents.
How do you choose your touring ski?
The choice of a touring ski is based on several criteria:
- Your level: whether you're a beginner, intermediate or expert, there are skis to suit all abilities.
- The type of terrain: Do you prefer light ascents or powder descents? A wider ski will offer more downhill lift, while a slimmer model will be ideal for fast ascents.
- Weight: If you're a long-distance touring skier, opt for an ultra-light model. On the other hand, if downhill skiing is your priority, a heavier but more stable ski will be a better choice.
You can also get additional equipment for your touring skis, such as knives, skins or a rucksack.
Whether you're a seasoned tourer or a beginner, our selection of touring skis will help you find the ideal equipment for your outings in the mountains. Explore our full range of skis and set off on your adventure with confidence!
