Nordic ski touring is a leisure discipline in the Nordic ski family. This activity is practiced in a natural environment on ungroomed snow and gentle slopes. It's the perfect way to get around off-piste areas.
Nordic touring skis are slightly wider and less arched than classic cross-country skis, but narrower than alpine or touring skis. They have edges, but their sole is equipped with anti-reverse scales; sealskins can be added if necessary. Their bindings leave the heel free, like those on cross-country or telemark skis. Waterproof, high-fitting boots allow the foot to flex.
Technique: Ability to snowplough off-piste.
Physical: 800 to 1000m of positive vertical drop with a 40-liter backpack.
Equipment: 40-liter backpack, gloves, hat, goggles, drink, picnic and snacks. Take hiking clothes with a spare polo shirt and rain or wet snow protection.
