MOUNTAINEERING

Slopetrax makes ski mountaineering possible even in summer. The mats create ideal training conditions for endurance, technique, and fitness – directly on the mountain and regardless of snow conditions.






Ski mountaineering is also on the competition program for the 2030 Olympics.

You can train on our mats even in summer.

Ski Mountaineering – The basis for the summer training of the 2030 Olympic participants.

Ski mountaineering or ski mountaineering

Ski Mountaineering (Skimo) It is one of the fastest-growing winter sports in the world. The combination of a challenging ascent using skins and a technically demanding descent requires the athletes to possess the highest levels of endurance, strength, and skiing technique.

Following its successful Olympic premiere, Skimo is developing rapidly and is also being used at the 2030 Winter Olympics These are among the international highlights. National teams and up-and-coming athletes worldwide prepare specifically for these competitions. But top performances don't only occur in winter. Since glacier ski resorts are only available to a limited extent or not at all in summer, many athletes lack suitable training opportunities.

This is exactly where Slopetrax sliding mats provide the solution.

With the SlopetraxGliding mats can be used to create permanent training courses for ski mountaineering on mountain slopes or along ski jumps. Athletes ascend with touring skis and skins, remove the skins at the summit, and then ski back down on the mats – just like in winter competitions.

This creates weather-independent, year-round usable training facilities for clubs, performance centers and ski associations.


Skitrax thus provides the basis on which tomorrow's Olympians can prepare for their successes at the 2030 Winter Games.

See the explanatory video below. We can provide a comprehensive brochure upon request.

Features:

  • Mats are assembled to approximately 1.52m (or wider) and laid along the track.
  • The length of the route depends on local and financial resources.
  • Mats can be laid permanently or temporarily.
  • Securing with ground stakes.
  • Mats can be cut to fit curves.
  • Mats can remain in place all year round - even in winter with snow.
  • Existing mat ski slopes can be used for ascent with skins.

Advantages:


  • Existing ski jumps and/or mat ski slopes can be used flexibly.
  • Due to the slow speed when ascending with skins, there is also little friction and virtually no abrasion.
  • Weather-independent training all year round.

    Usage - Summer:
  • Independent training with climbing alongside.
  • Using the ski jump for downhill skiing.
  • The mats are quickly laid out on the mountain route.
  • Dismantling and placing the mats back onto pallets.

    Usage - Winter:
  • The installed mat area can remain in place all year round.
  • Training on the mats is possible even in winters with little snow.

Skibergsteigen ohne Schnee

by Skitrax World • 22 February 2024
Es wäre doch so einfach mit den Slopetrax Gleitmatten. Bei den olympischen Winterspielen 2026 wird Skibergsteigen erstmals ins olympische Programm aufgenommen. Grund genug, sich der immer beliebter werdenden Sportart zu nähern. Immer mehr Menschen gehen im Winter auf Skitour und genießen die Kombination aus forderndem Aufstieg und Abfahrten in unpräpariertem Gelände. Beim Skibergsteigen liegt der Fokus weniger auf der Geschwindigkeit als vielmehr auf dem Aufstieg und der Bewältigung des Geländes. Im Gegensatz zum alpinen Skifahren, bei dem es um rasante Abfahrten geht, ist das Skibergsteigen eine Disziplin, die den Aufstieg in unberührtem Gelände betont.

Ski mountaineering without snow

It would be so easy with the Slopetrax sliding mats. Ski mountaineering will be included in the Olympic programme for the first time at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Reason enough to take a closer look at this increasingly popular sport. More and more people are going ski touring in winter and enjoying the combination of challenging ascents and descents in unprepared terrain. In ski mountaineering, the focus is less on speed and more on the ascent and mastering the terrain. In contrast to alpine skiing, which is all about fast descents, ski mountaineering is a discipline that emphasises the ascent in untouched terrain.
