With the right all-round touring skis, you are perfectly equipped for every ski tour. At XSPO, you know how crucial the balanced interplay of weight, stability and maneuverability is. A high-quality touring ski for all-round use accompanies you reliably on groomed routes as well as in challenging terrain or deep snow and ensures that you master every descent with maximum control and skiing fun.

Purpose, areas of application and requirements

All-round touring skis are the ideal choice for ski tourers who want maximum flexibility. They combine the lightness of race models with the stability of Freeride skis and adapt to different types of snow and terrain. Whether for long ascents over narrow paths, traversing alpine forests or sporty descents in the backcountry - all-round touring skis offer balanced handling that appeals to both beginners and experienced ski tourers.

Important properties and differences

How to find the right all-round touring ski

1. Determine your usage profile: think about whether you place more value on fast ascents or comfortable descents.
2. Choose the right waist width: the more versatile your terrain, the more suitable a medium width (70-90 mm) is.
3. Pay attention to material and weight: a wood-carbon mix offers a balance of lightness and stability.
4. Take your driving skills into account: A moderate radius and rocker profile facilitate turn initiation.
5. Set your budget: Markers such as Salomon, Dynafit or Fischer offer different price-performance ratios.
6. Test before you buy: A test day gives you peace of mind.

At XSPO, you not only benefit from personal advice and tested quality, but also from a comprehensive service that makes your winter sports experience complete. With us, you will find exactly the models that will make your heart beat faster on the ascent as well as on the descent.
