This technique discovered and used for the first time in Norway, in the Telemark region, where people starting to experiment different systems of curves and braking using a single stick skiing with the free heel now has new materials that gave a new impetus to this wonderful sport.

With great success, in 1983, the telemark is repeated with they movements very elegant and beautiful to see.
Every year Livigno organises a week long of events that promotes this antique technique.
