Ski touring bindings

Touring ski bindings: Performance and safety for your mountain adventures

Ski touring bindings are a crucial piece of equipment for any skier looking to conquer the mountains, both uphill and downhill. Designed to allow the foot to move naturally when ascending, while guaranteeing a secure hold when descending, these bindings combine lightness, safety and performance.

How do you choose your ski touring bindings?

The choice of ski touring bindings depends on a number of key factors, including your skiing style, your touring objectives and the type of terrain you plan to explore. There are two main types of bindings: insert (or 'low tech') bindings and frame bindings.

Low-tech bindings: Lightweight and high-performance, these bindings are ideal for skiers who are focused on efficiency when climbing. They save a lot of weight, which is crucial for long ascents, while offering a high level of safety on the way down.

Frame bindings: More robust and versatile, these are often preferred by those looking for a compromise between traditional alpine skiing and touring. They offer better power transmission on descents, but are heavier on ascents.

Once you've selected your pair of ski bindings, you'll need to go to a skiman to fit them to your skis and adjust them to the size of your ski boots. You can also complete your equipment by opting for sealskins and knives for your touring skis.

Safety and compatibility

Touring ski bindings must be compatible with your touring ski boots. It is also essential to check that the binding is set correctly to ensure safe release in the event of a fall, minimising the risk of injury. The majority of modern models are equipped with adjustable safety release systems, allowing you to strike the right balance between performance and protection.

Advice on use

When you're out and about, make sure you adapt the ski binding mode (uphill or downhill) according to the slope. When going uphill, use the adjustable wedges to reduce effort, while when going downhill, securely lock the bindings for a smooth, controlled glide. Regular maintenance of ski bindings is also recommended to ensure they work properly all season long.
