Ski Touring

Explore the mountains with ski touring gear

Ski touring opens up a new world of adventure, combining the thrill of skiing with the freedom to explore untouched terrain. At Decathlon Ireland, the ski touring collection includes skis, boots, bindings, skins, backpacks, and safety equipment—everything you need for your next backcountry journey.

Skis, boots and skins for uphill and downhill

Touring skis are lighter and narrower than alpine skis, designed for efficient climbs and stable descents. Pair them with ski touring boots that offer both flexibility for hiking and stiffness for skiing downhill. Skins, attached to the base of skis, provide traction for uphill climbs and are a must-have for any tour.

Safety and equipment essentials

Ski touring often takes you into remote, ungroomed areas, so safety is crucial. Avalanche transceivers, probes, shovels, and helmets are important additions to your gear. Lightweight backpacks, hydration packs, and layering clothing ensure you stay comfortable throughout your trip.

How to choose the right ski touring gear

Consider your fitness level, the type of terrain you’ll explore, and how often you’ll tour. Beginners should start with versatile skis and easy-to-use skins, while experienced skiers might opt for ultralight setups for longer ascents. Decathlon Ireland’s detailed guides and product descriptions help you choose gear that matches your adventure.
