About ZAG
A brand focused on the future… and the mountains
Since 2002, ZAG has been designing skis in Chamonix, combining technical excellence with a commitment to environmental sustainability. Our new brand identity reflects this ambition: to offer modern, sustainable, and intuitive products for mountain enthusiasts, whether beginners or experts.
For over 20 years, ZAG has been designing Touring skis, developed in Chamonix in collaboration with high-mountain guides. Our UBAC line embodies the best of our expertise: skis that are lightweight on the ascent, high-performance on the descent, and suited to all types of skiers. Whether you’re new to Touring a seasoned veteran, the UBAC is your companion on any terrain.
Why is choosing the right skis so important for Touring
Unlike classic alpine skiing, Touring skiing involves climbing on your own. This makes weight a fundamental criterion. But reducing weight from equipment doesn't have to sacrifice stability, skiability or safety on challenging terrain.
A good touring ski must :
- be lightweight for climbing efficiency,
- easily lift off in powder snow
- provide good traction on hard snow
- stay comfortable on the descent regardless of snow conditions,
- be versatile, because you never know what kind of snow you'll encounter.
The right choice for your activity and skill level
You wouldn’t choose the same Touring ski Touring a 600-meter climb as you would for a three-day alpine traverse.
Some skiers prioritize performance on the ascent, while others focus on the joy of the descent; some want a versatile ski, while others prefer a specialized one.
At ZAG, we cater to this diversity of profiles with a range designed to suit everyone—from the curious skier to the passionate expert.
