Short Guide to Ski Touring in the Dolomites
Ski touring is a discipline that combines the best of both worlds: the thrill of downhill skiing and the serenity of backcountry exploration. Unlike traditional skiing, where you rely on lifts to get you up the mountain, ski touring allows you to ascend on your own power using specialized climbing skins attached to your skis. This opens up a new world of possibilities, letting you access untouched snow and secluded spots far from the crowded pistes.
What You’ll Need
- Skis & Bindings: Touring-specific skis and bindings that allow uphill and downhill movement.
- Climbing Skins: These are attached to the bottom of your skis for uphill traction.
- Boots: Touring boots are designed for both skiing and walking.
- Poles: Adjustable poles are useful for varying terrain.
- Safety Gear: Avalanche transceiver, probe, and shovel are essential.
- Backpack: For your essentials, including water, food, safety gear, and a first aid kit.
- Ski Crampons: They allow you to safely climb a terrain too steep for skis.
