Ski material

Ski and/or snowboard shoes

Ski and snowboard boots are indispensable for wearing skis or a snowboard. To ensure all-day comfort and a great experience on the slopes, it’s crucial to find boots that are properly fitted to your feet, ski or snowboard model, and shoe size. Finding the right fit will provide the necessary support, control, and comfort, allowing you to fully enjoy your time on the mountain.

Different ski types

Choose skis that suit your preferences and needs among the various options available at ski resorts. Different models such as mini skis, long skis, big skis, and cross-country skis cater to specific activities. Mini skis are suitable for beginners, while longer skis offer stability for experienced skiers. Wider skis are designed for off-piste adventures, and cross-country skis are ideal for flat or undulating terrain. Consider your desired activities and consult experts or rental shops to find the perfect skis for you.

The helmet

The helmet is essential to assure your protection against injuries and falls. During skiing the whole body is exposed but only the head does not have any clothes. That is why you should opt for a solid helmet that’s adapted to your head form without impacting your comfort and vision.

Apres ski shoes

Here you will take off your ski shoes. They are essential walking in the resort and/or all activities necessary that don`t involve skis/snowboard. They are essential, warm and give you comfort when you walk on the snow or ice.

Ski clothes

Ski clothes like the combination jacket + pants + sweater + fleece sweater are essential while preparing your luggage. These are the essential clothes for all activities in the resort, whether they are on the slopes or not. They will keep you warm and you will be comfortable. Our advice: choose thermo-fabrics!

The accessories

The hat, gloves and mittens are also essential to complete the basic outfit and stay warm. If the hands and head aren’t covered, you risk getting a cold and suffer from the low temperatures of the mountain. Think thus of taking these accessories in your luggage to enjoy your holidays. Our advice: if you do not wish to have a lot of luggage don’t hesitate to buy accessories directly in the resort. The resorts have sports shops and clothing shops. Finally, if you have sensitive ears don’t forget to cover your ears (or go for a hat that covers the ears) to protect yourself from the cold and icy winds.

High Tech equipment

Cameras

For capturing thrilling moments and recording videos, we suggest using a dedicated sports camera like a GoPro. These cameras allow you to preserve your memories and share them with family and friends, while also enabling you to review and analyze your performance on the slopes. You can find sports cameras for sale at high-tech stores and some sports stores. There are various models available with different features and image quality, catering to different budgets. With a wide range of options, you’re sure to find a camera that suits your needs and preferences.
