Ski Touring
Ski touring is a combination of mountaineering and skiing that allows you to climb peaks using your own strength, with skins on your skis, and descend through untouched snow away from groomed slopes. This activity offers the freedom and silence of the mountain, but requires special equipment, such as bindings with a heel-lift system and ski skins, as well as mandatory avalanche safety equipment: avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel.
Key features and equipment:
Equipment: Touring bindings, touring skis, ski boots for both walking and downhill skiing, and ski skins that prevent slipping backwards during the ascent.
Safety: The mandatory “safety trio” — avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel — along with knowledge of the terrain and avalanche risks.
Physical fitness: Requires good physical condition for the ascent.
Advantages: Escape from crowds, enjoyment in the wilderness and exploration of inaccessible terrain.
In Montenegro, the most popular destination for ski touring is Durmitor, Žabljak.
