Ski Holidays: tips for kids |
In front of the immensity of the mountain it is inevitabile for parents to devote an extraordinary attention to their little children.
So here are some tips for preparing for the winter holiday without worries.
As regards clothing, we advice to dress in layers under the ski suit, to choose merino wool, fleece or technical fabrics, and to wear only a pair of socks and boots that lock well the foot.
Accessories are also important: mittens for hands, ski goggles, sunglasses, plastic back protector and helmet (mandatory under 14 years and approved for skiing / snowboarding).
As regards skis and poles it is better to rent them, bearing in mind that a shorter ski will lose some speed but will buy in handling and safety.
Do not forget to smear sunscreen and lip balm.
Once arrived, it is good to revise to the children the basic rules: caution first, reduce speed, always pay attention to others and never stop in dangerous steps.
Naturally a teacher is always advisable. And here the training camp is the best, because children will stay together and have more fun.
The Italy Family Hotels of the mountains offer special agreements with the ski schools in the area and recommend finally a lot of fun!
