Travel Arrangements |
|
try to keep
transfer times from the airport as short as possible |
|
the snow train
can be a fun way to travel, but take refreshments with you |
|
don't travel by
car unless the children are older, or you take many breaks |
|
|
Accommodation |
|
chalets and
apartments are best |
|
either hire the
entire chalet, or choose one marked as for families |
|
apartments are
cheaper but not as convenient. someone must still cook! |
|
choose a
specialist family hotel |
|
|
Clothing |
|
helmets are
recommended for small children |
|
goggles should
be big enough to fit over the helmet |
|
a one-piece ski
suit is the most convenient |
|
gloves should
always be worn |
|
wear many
layers of clothing- vests, thermal pants |
|
have access to
drinks- altitude is very dehydrating |
|
|
Suncream |
|
wear suncream,
even on cloudy days |
|
|
Ski Schools |
|
if you find
that the instructor speaks little english, ask for your child to
be moved to another class. its your right. |
|
check the
times- they may differ from your own! |
|
some schools
will organise lunch for your child- find out |
