Ski Review 2025/2026: Men Allround

Want to enjoy a full day on the slopes without constantly pushing your physical limits? Allround skis are the perfect choice. These versatile all-rounders combine modern technology with high stability and are easy, forgiving to ride – ideal for relaxed leisure skiers as well as ambitious skiers who value comfort.

Here’s a look at how the men’s allround skis from the most well-known manufacturers performed at the 2025/2026 WorldSkitest.

Versatility Meets Comfort

Allround skis are often underestimated, but once you try them, you quickly realize how fun and versatile these models are. They excel with a harmonious blend of maneuverability, stability, and precise control. Whether cruising leisurely on a blue run or enjoying sporty turns in the afternoon, an allround ski has you covered in any situation. The target group ranges from beginners to advanced skiers and sporty riders who simply want a relaxed day on the slopes.

Men Allround – From Wide Slopes to Steep Chutes

The test course in Heiligenblut, with panoramic views of the Großglockner, provided perfect conditions for this category. The results clearly show that the ski industry is doing an excellent job even in the allround segment: four models received the top rating of “excellent,” while the rest earned “very good” or “good”. Another plus for this category: the often attractive price-to-performance ratio.

Target Audience: Beginners, advanced, and sporty skiers who value versatility, comfort, and enjoyment.
