Abstract: Ski-binding arrangement to fix a ski boot to a ski, in particular a touring or cross-country ski, with a latch mechanism to fix the front end of the ski boot to the ski in such a way that the metatarsus and heel can be raised freely from the upper surface of the ski. The latch mechanism can be attached to a holding plate (10). The holding plate (10) in turn is so disposed that it can swing out to the sides about an axis perpendicular to the surface of the ski against the action of spring-braced elements (12) of a locking mechanism (11), the lateral swinging movement being so extensive that the plate is completely freed from the ski. The holding plate (10) is supported by way of its extreme front end (13) on a retaining part (14) mounted on the upper surface (19) of the ski, the plate (10) being so disposed that it can swing sideways about said front end. The locking mechanism (11) is associated with the back end of the holding plate (10).
