Ski Review 2025/2026: Ladies Allround

Skiers who value elegance, safety, and fun on the slopes will find the perfect models in the Ladies Allround category. These skis combine light, forgiving handling with a surprisingly sporty character – ideal for relaxed leisure skiers as well as ambitious all-rounders.

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

Lightness Meets Safety

Women’s performance skis excel with a harmonious balance: whether cruising through easy carving turns or picking up the pace, these models remain predictable, stable, and comfortable. Especially for long days on the slopes, they provide relaxed skiing without tiring your legs, making them particularly popular among leisure skiers.

The target group is broad: from beginners to advanced skiers, and sporty skiers who value versatility and comfort. In this category, design often plays a decisive role in the purchase decision – which is why these models can sometimes be more playful or colorful. Another plus: the generally attractive price-to-performance ratio.

Ladies Allround Tested in the High Mountains

The test days in Heiligenblut at the end of March offered perfect conditions: perfectly groomed slopes, a mix of sun and light clouds, and pleasant temperatures. With the imposing Großglockner behind them, our testers were especially motivated – which is reflected in the results: there are two test winners! Völkl and Nordica share the highly coveted first place. All other models scored “very good” or “good.”

Target Audience: Beginners, advanced, and sporty skiers who prioritize versatility, comfort, and effortless performance.
