Abstract
A ski binding comprising a release mechanism controllable voluntarily through a wireless transmission path and releases a lock of a jaw of the binding, which transmission path is controlled by a manually operable switch. To avoid an undesired release of the binding, it is provided that the switch is countersunk into an outwardly opening recess in the handle on a skipole, so that the manually operable part of a button on the switch can be manually engaged only by purposefully inserting a finger of a user's hand into the recess.
