Ski touring - The Skialper Buyer's Guide

Ski touring

Earn every single turn

Ski touring is a lifestyle. Also known as ski mountaineering, it’s the art of getting up the mountain in the lightest, most sustainable way possible to experience the pristine landscapes and amazing slopes in all their glory. It’s the respectful way to explore the mountains in winter and escape the chaos and crowds of the groomers.
