Ski tours are still enjoying greater popularity and are at the very top of the trend! The number of ski tourers in Austria has already risen to over 700,000.
Ready for the first ski tour?
If you want to try the ski touring for the very first time, you should borrow the equipment and find out which is best. Our team at Sport Matt will be pleased to assist you with any questions and the best selection.
A perfectly fitting touring boot
is a must for a safe stop on the descent. Your touring shoe should fit perfectly. If no model really fits, we can perfectly adapt your liner to your foot with the Sport Matt bootfitting. No pressure points and secure hold are guaranteed!
The ideal touring ski
for beginners are all-rounder models. The choice is big and depends on driving skills and also on whether you are interested in easy ascents or easy descents. Touring ski models include racers, lightweights, all-rounders, performers and freeriders. We therefore recommend all-round touring skis to touring skiers, because it is very easy to drive and also offers compensatory driving characteristics in all snow conditions and terrain situations.
Touring binding & touring-ski skin
We are happy to advise you for the right choice from the variety of different models for a variety of techniques.
