1. A brake arrangement for a touring binding, wherein the brake arrangement is adjustable between a braking position and a sliding position, the brake arrangement comprising:
a base having a fastening arrangement for fastening to one or more of a ski or the touring binding;
a pedal having a step surface for a shoe on a side of the pedal facing away from the ski;
at least one brake arm mounted on the base and on the pedal, wherein the brake arrangement is preloaded into the braking position;
a locking element that is movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein, in the engaged position, the locking element is configured to lock the brake arrangement in the sliding position, and wherein the locking element is preloaded into the engaged position; and
a blocking element that is adjustable between (A) a blocking position, in which the blocking element engages with the locking element in the sliding position of the brake arrangement when the locking element is in the engaged position, and (B) a release position, in which the blocking element does not engage with the locking element, wherein the blocking element is mounted on the brake arrangement, so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to a ski plane such that the blocking element moves in a plane that is substantially parallel to the ski plane during an adjustment between the blocking position and the release position, wherein the blocking element is rotatable independently of the brake arrangement.
