Learn more about ski touring

Ski touring is a form of backcountry skiing that combines elements of both skiing and hiking. Unlike traditional downhill skiing at resorts, ski touring involves traveling across natural, often ungroomed terrain using special skis equipped with climbing skins that provide traction for uphill movement. Skiers ascend mountains or hills under their own power, then enjoy skiing down untouched snow. This activity requires physical endurance, navigation skills, and knowledge of avalanche safety, making it both challenging and rewarding. Ski touring offers a unique way to explore remote winter landscapes, experience solitude, and connect with nature. It appeals to outdoor enthusiasts seeking adventure, fitness, and the thrill of skiing beyond marked trails.
