Come and discover telemark, and admire the performances of these runners from all over the world from January 23 to 25, 2022 in Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc.

TELEMARK ... WHAT IS IT?

With "free" heels, "Telemarkers" ski with a position that is as unique as it is aesthetic. Much like a "lunge," the inside leg is flexed, with at least a shoe length between the two feet.
Telemark competitions are a mixture of alpine and nordic, downhill and uphill. A telemark competition always has the following elements: a giant slalom, a jump, a "loom" (raised 360 ° turn), and a skating part.
