What is ski touring?
Ski touring offers a unique blend of uphill and downhill skiing, setting it apart from traditional alpine skiing. Unlike alpine skiing, where you rely on ski lifts to take you to the top, ski touring involves ascending the mountain under your own power. Special bindings allow for a free-heel mode for uphill travel, and you’ll use climbing skins for added traction. Once you reach the summit, simply lock your heels back in place and enjoy your descent, just like you would in alpine skiing.
The beauty of ski touring lies in its versatility and the freedom it offers. Whether interested in short-day tours or multi-day adventures, ski touring allows you to explore off-the-beaten-path terrains and untouched snow. It’s a sport that combines the physical challenge of climbing with the adrenaline rush of downhill skiing, offering a well-rounded mountain experience.
