Features
A binding that represents the essence of ATK, combining remarkable lightness with extraordinary performance. Elegant in both shape and concept, the Haute Route PLUS is the top binding in the Speed Touring category, the best of our range without a ski brake. Crafted entirely from full aluminum, it weighs just under 220 grams and is the lightest ATK binding with the CAM Release System. In this overview, we will delve into the key features that make the Haute Route PLUS the ultimate choice for Speed Touring enthusiasts.
Toe piece —
- Speed Toe Piece: redesigned to improve downhill performance with its hybrid mounting pattern—narrow at the front holes and wide at the rear. Its ergonomic lever, designed with a specific joint, makes opening, step-out, and closing operations easier. The Speed Toe Piece also includes our Snowpack Proof System, carefully designed to prevent snow and ice from accumulating under the locking mechanism, ensuring it remains safe and easy to operate even on the coldest days with frequent transitions.
- Integrated but removable rampant support.
Heel piece —
Cam Release System: the Haute Route PLUS is the lightest ATK’s binding to feature our signature patented system that contributes to an effortless step-in and grants amazing torsional stiffness.
- Magneto Heel Flaps: two carefully designed heel flaps to provide a higher touring comfort. They can be easily managed with poles thanks to an ingenious combination of two magnets.
- Both lateral and vertical release value are adjustable.
Performing Through Lightness —
Our foundation, our roots. ATK took its first steps in this industry by developing lightweight race bindings, and now, as then, lightness is key to achieving what athletes crave: speed. Therefore, it's easy to understand why “performance through lightness” has been the mantra that has accompanied ATK's growth in its early years.
As our role in the ski mountaineering universe started to evolve, we needed some stabilization because it's easy to lose control during a phase of growth, just as it is easy to get caught up in the events. That's why we decided to keep our roots stable, not changing our approach to the activity, and ultimately not getting in our own way.
In fact, as we expanded our catalogue to include the speed touring, touring, and free touring categories, we remained steadfast in our commitment to enabling an
ever-wider range of ski mountaineers to achieve performance through lightness.
Durability —
Crafted from high-quality materials and engineered to withstand the rigors of backcountry skiing, the Haute Route PLUS offers exceptional durability and reliability. The carefully machined components and thoughtful construction ensure longevity to this tech binding, providing peace of mind during your most demanding adventures.

AI FAQs
AI generated FAQs about the Haute Route 10 Plus Binding
How do I know if these bindings will fit my boots?
These bindings use a tech interface for touring ski boots meeting ISO 9523. Their 30 mm boot-sole-length adjustment provides fit range within compatible touring boots.
Can I adjust the binding to fit my boot size, or is it fixed?
The binding has 30 mm of boot-sole-length adjustment. You can use that range to fit compatible touring boots with different sole lengths.
How do I set the release tension so the binding will let go when I fall?
Both lateral and vertical release values are adjustable, with a stated release range of 4–10. This gives you adjustment in both release directions within the binding’s specified range.
Do these bindings work with both alpine touring boots and regular downhill boots?
These bindings use a tech boot-binding system for touring ski boots meeting ISO 9523. They are suited to ISO 9523 touring boots rather than a general-purpose downhill boot interface.
How easy is it to switch from climbing uphill to skiing downhill?
The ergonomic toe lever is designed to make opening, step-out, and closing easier, and the two Magneto Heel Flaps are manageable with poles. Those features support smoother transitions between touring and downhill setups in the backcountry.
Can I switch between modes while I'm on the mountain, or do I need to stop and adjust?
The two Magneto Heel Flaps can be managed with poles while you are on the mountain. The Snowpack Proof System is built to keep the toe locking mechanism safe and easy to operate during cold days with frequent transitions.
Will switching modes mid-day get annoying or take a lot of time?
The Magneto Heel Flaps are designed for easy pole management through a two-magnet system. The ergonomic toe lever also makes opening, step-out, and closing operations easier during repeated transitions.
Will these bindings hold up if I'm skiing hard or in rough terrain?
The Haute Route 10 Plus is crafted from full aluminum with carefully machined components and is engineered for the rigors of backcountry skiing. Its construction is intended to provide durability and reliability on demanding backcountry adventures.
How sensitive are these bindings to ice, snow buildup, or dirt?
The Snowpack Proof System is designed to prevent snow and ice from accumulating under the toe locking mechanism. It keeps that mechanism safe and easy to operate on cold days with frequent transitions.
How do I know these bindings will actually release my boot when I need them to?
Both lateral and vertical release values are adjustable, and the binding has a stated release range of 4–10. The Haute Route 10 Plus also uses ATK’s patented CAM Release System for step-in and torsional stiffness.
