Ski mountaineering is a skiing discipline that involves climbing mountains either on skis or carrying them, depending on the steepness of the ascent, and then descending on skis. It is an activity that variously combines ski touring, Telemark, backcountry skiing, and mountaineering.
The three prestigious races in the field are the Italian Mezzalama Trophy, the Swiss Patrouille des Glaciers, and the French Pierra Menta.
