Made in Chamonix
Pin technology with a focus on weight and reliability
Plum-Bindings are based on the classic pin system, in which the ski boot locks directly into the toe and heel jaws, without any unnecessary weight on the sole. Each component is milled from aluminum and steel in our own workshop in the Chamonix Valley, ensuring minimal tolerances and precise closure even after hundreds of ascents. On most models, switching between walking and skiing is done with a single adjustment on the heel piece—operable directly with your pole—without having to open the ski boot. Release settings can be individually adjusted on the freeride-ready models, while the pure-bred racing models are consistently optimized for minimal weight. This way, depending on your intended use, you get a binding that is either radically lightweight or designed for maximum safety on the descent.
The Plum Eterlou—a binding developed specifically for splitboards—demonstrates how this philosophy translates into a concrete product. It combines the reliability of pin technology with the stability a splitboard needs when riding off-piste, while remaining pleasantly lightweight on your feet. If you’re interested in the specific model, you’ll find a detailed overview—including all technical specifications—directly below the product page for the Plum Eterlou. The entire Plum lineup, featuring additional models and accessories, is available on the Plum brand page at ski-shop.ch. It’s worth taking a look there before you decide on a specific model.
For splitboarders
The Eterlou: a compact splitboard binding with a clear ascent mode
The Eterlou is one of Plum ’s splitboard bindings and was designed specifically for switching between ascent and descent. In touring mode, your foot rests freely on the mount, allowing for a natural stride and preventing your calves from tiring prematurely, even after long ascents. For the descent, the binding can be moved into riding position without tools, and power transfer to the board feels noticeably more direct than with many frame bindings. The compact housing, made of durable plastic and aluminum, keeps moisture and ice buildup at bay—a noticeable advantage, especially in the variable conditions of the Alps. The Eterlou is compatible with standard splitboard inserts, making it easy to mount on a variety of boards.
You can find detailed dimensions, weight specifications, and compatibility information for the binding directly on the Plum Eterlou page in the shop. If you’d like to compare several models first, you can view the available versions at a glance on the general product page for the Plum Eterlou. For an overview of the rest of the Plum product lineup—such as replacement parts or other binding accessories—it’s also worth visiting the Plum brand page. This way, you can quickly find out which combination suits your splitboard and riding style.
From after-work ski tourers to alpinists
From a short after-work tour to a multi-day traverse
Plumbindings are designed for anyone venturing off-piste, whether on classic touring skis or a splitboard. For short after-work tours near home, low weight is key, so the ascent remains enjoyable even after a full day at work. For more challenging ventures, such as multi-day ski traverses or alpine summit ascents, however, stability and reliable release during the descent take center stage—especially in the unpredictable Swiss high mountains. Freeriders who spend a lot of time off-piste benefit from the more robust Plum models with adjustable release settings, while splitboarders get a binding with the Eterlou that’s precisely tailored to their riding style. This way, the right Plum binding will last you through many winter seasons, no matter how ambitious your touring goals become.
If you’re interested in getting into splitboarding, the Eterlou “Plum ” is a solid, everyday-ready binding for your first ski tours. The key technical specifications and the corresponding product variants are clearly listed on the Eterlou product page. For an overview of the brand’s entire lineup, including other binding models, it’s worth visiting the Plum brand page at ski-shop.ch.
