4 What should you carry in your backpack?

Hey mums and dads! It’s that time of the year and you need to start packing! It’s always a nuisance especially when travelling with kids as you want to make sure you have all your essentials with you.

As we have plenty of experience travelling to the snow, we thought it would be a great idea to share some tips with you ;)

Snow Equipment

As you are travelling from far away, we offer you the chance to pre-book your equipment for the snow through the booking process. Once you’ve selected the ski resort and accommodation, you’ll be able to select the equipment range of your choice. It’s easy to collect and our rates are fantastic!

If you’re renting ski equipment, you’ll have boots, skis and sticks included in the price. And if you’re renting snowboard equipment, you’ll have the board and boots included.

Depending on the ski resort, the price of the rental may also include the helmet for children ;) If not, you can always rent it at the shop.

What else do we recommend? Ski bindings to connect your boot to the ski/snowboard ;)

Ideal clothing to keep your kids warm and enjoying a day in the show

As you may know, when skiing your body temperature experiences fluctuations in either direction and children are prone to catching a cold or a fever. Also, to ski well and comfortably you need to keep warm.

Here is a list of clothing you need to make sure you pack:

Base Layers (“thermals”)

One Piece Ski Suit (totally recommendable instead of a 2-piece)

Waterproof jacket

Neck Gator

Gloves (ideally waterproof as kids love to play with the snow)

Snow Boots

A change of clothes (especially underwear, socks and “thermal” top)

Snow hat

Don’t forget to download our app so you can keep updated on the weather forecast once on location. It’s a great tool when skiing with children to make sure you have everything you need for any situation.

The ultimate accessories

Here you’ll find a list of the items we usually forget and leave back home…

Sunscreen (you easily burn on the mountain without even realising!)

Lip balm

Basic Medication

Tissues

Plasters

What should you carry in your backpack?

To experience a complete and uninterrupted day in the snow, you need to be fully equipped. So here are our recommendations:

Water (it’s very important to keep hydrated at all times)

Sandwiches or chocolate bars

A camera to capture each unique moment

A first aid kit

A plastic bag to put your wet items after

A purse and your and your family’s ID

Cash

We suggest you to put all of these tips and recommendations in good use as they’ll surely help to have a great experience in the snow and be prepared for any unforeseen situation ;)
