- Gaiters
Gaiters keep snow out of your boots and your trousers dry. They help on wet or muddy paths too.
- Ski Gloves
Waterproof, warm gloves for skiing. Take a spare pair if they get wet.
- Ski Hat
A warm hat or headband for the slopes and the walk to the lift.
- Ski Trousers
Waterproof, insulated trousers for the slopes. Snow gaiters keep snow out of your boots.
- 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.
- Snow Boots
Warm, waterproof boots for walking in the snow away from the slopes.
- Snowshoes
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.
- Thermos flask
Keeps drinks hot in the cold or cold in the heat for hours.
- Trekking poles
Take strain off your knees on descents and give you balance on rough trails.
- Walking boots
Sturdy boots with ankle support and a good tread for mountain trails. Break them in before the trip.
- Walking socks
Padded, quick-drying socks prevent blisters on long walks. Avoid cotton.
