Safety meets Performance.
The world's first and only IAS-certified telemark safety binding. Built for freeriders who never compromise — between safety and performance.
Telemark is more than a sport — it's a way of life. With the 7tm, we want to make this freedom safer without limiting it.
7tm NTN Safety Binding
The 7tm NTN combines certified safety with uncompromising performance for the first time. The innovative Safety Release System protects during falls without limiting responsiveness — built for demanding telemarkers. Available in two sizes for the new Scarpa TX Pro and TX Comp (Mondo 23.5–31.5).

Voices from the Community
"Finally a binding that releases in critical situations. I had a bad crash last year — with my old binding my knee would have been done."
"As a ski school director, safety is non-negotiable. The 7tm is the only binding I can recommend to my customers with a clear conscience."
