Abstract
Cross-country ski binding for a shoe or boot having a transverse journal axle includes a latch which is longitudinally and rotationally movable between latching and insertion positions. A biasing element biases the latch in a longitudinal direction towards the latching position and rotationally towards the insertion position. The arrangement of the elastic element allows the biasing force to overcome in the vertical direction to be less than that in the longitudinal direction.
