Touring binding to be fitted to a gliding board

Front unit of a touring binding,

• the front unit comprising a bearing arrangement having a bearing element, the bearing element being designed to hold a touring shoe on the front unit on a counter-bearing portion of the touring shoe so as to be pivotable about a transverse axis (Q) extending transversely to a glide board longitudinal axis,
• a release path being defined on the bearing arrangement, along which path the counter-bearing portion of the touring shoe can exit the bearing arrangement,
• the front unit further comprising a blocking portion designed to
• block the movement of the counter-bearing portion of the touring shoe along the release path when the front unit is in a blocked state, and
• allow the movement of the counter-bearing portion of the touring shoe along the release path when the front unit is in a neutral state, wherein,
• when moving from the neutral state into the blocked state, the blocking portion performs a rotational movement about an axis of rotation of the blocking portion, which axis extends transversely to a glide board longitudinal axis.
