Abstract: A ski binding which includes a keeper element and a clamping mechanism for retaining a ski boot therein, the clamping mechanism including a U-shaped fixing strap arranged in guides on the keeper element with upwardly extending free ends for coaction with holes in the front sole portion of a ski boot, and a tensioning device which connects with a transverse portion of the fixing strap in such a manner that the free ends of the strap, upon operation of the clamping device, will pull the ski boot forwardly in the longitudinal direction of the ski and into the keeper element. The tensioning device incorporates a intermediate piece, which is preferably adjustable in length, and a tensioning arm, the intermediate piece being rotatably connected to the tensioning arm at one end and to the transverse portion of the fixing strap at its other (front) end. The binding may be released by causing the front end of the intermediate piece to be lifted upwardly with respect to the top surface of the ski.
