Marker Alpinist 12 Long Travel Ski Touring Bindings

Marker Alpinist 12 are ultralight ski touring bindings designed for skiers who expect maximum efficiency on the ascent and complete control during descents. Thanks to their modern construction and the use of lightweight, durable materials, they perform equally well on demanding mountain ascents and dynamic off-piste descents.

This model features an extended length adjustment range of up to 35 mm, making it easy to fit boots with different shell lengths. The binding design enables active length compensation, allowing the heel to move as the ski flexes without affecting its natural flex, while maintaining stable power transmission.

The rigid ISI Toe / PinTech toe piece with a dual spring makes stepping into the binding quick and precise. The wide platform with an integrated stopper automatically positions the boot correctly, while the kinematically optimised pin levers close with light pressure.

The heel unit features three climbing modes – 0°, 5° and 9°, which can be quickly adjusted depending on the steepness of the terrain. Switching from climbing to downhill mode is quick and intuitive, which you will especially appreciate after reaching the summit.

The wide 38 mm mounting screw pattern ensures very good power transmission to the ski edges, delivering stability, control and precise handling during descents.
