Long, thin ski socks prevent pressure points in ski boots. Take one pair per day or wash them.
- Ski Trousers
Waterproof, insulated trousers for the slopes. Snow gaiters keep snow out of your boots.
- Skis
Your own skis if you do not rent. Have them serviced before the trip and check transport fees.
- Sledge
Many toboggan runs rent sledges at the valley station or the hut. Your own is worth it for families; check the runners and the pull cord.

Many mountain huts require one for hygiene. Light and small to pack.

Choose one rated for the coldest night you expect. A liner keeps it clean and adds warmth.

Warm, waterproof boots for walking in the snow away from the slopes.

Your own board if you do not rent. Have it serviced before the trip.

They keep you on top of deep snow. Choose the size by your weight including your pack; many sports shops and tourist offices rent them.

Rental shoes and skates are worn by many people. Bring your own socks.

- Thin gloves
Cross-country skiing or skinning uphill, thick ski gloves get too warm. Thin windproof gloves are enough; keep warm ones for breaks and the descent.

Remove ticks quickly and completely after walks in grass and woods.
- Toilet paper
You can not find / buy toilet paper everywhere. Therefore it is nice to have before camping starts.
