Voile Traverse Telemark Binding

The Traverse is specifically designed for softer-plastic or leather telemark boots. Because it uses a traditional cable spring system, it pairs best with boots that offer a bit more flex, rather than the ultra-stiff, high-performance plastic boots used for resort charging.

The 10mm riser provides extra leverage, which helps you initiate turns more easily and gives you better control over your edges. It effectively raises your boot off the ski, reducing the amount of force needed to drive the ski into a turn.

Yes, they are well-suited for touring. The inclusion of dual-height climbing elevators allows you to adjust your heel lift on the fly, which significantly reduces calf fatigue when you are breaking trail on steeper terrain.

By utilizing a traditional cable spring design rather than complex, heavy mechanical linkages, the Traverse is notably lightweight. It is an excellent choice if your priority is long-distance touring where saving weight on your feet makes a noticeable difference over the course of a day.

The Traverse uses a standard 4-hole mounting pattern, which is compatible with the vast majority of telemark-specific skis on the market. Just ensure your ski has a mounting area wide enough to accommodate the binding's footprint.
