The ski vacation is approaching and packing your bag is an important time. Both stressful and exciting, we would like to be able to take our house and not have to choose! Being ready for all eventualities, without breaking the suitcase, is the objective that I suggest you achieve together thanks to a list for going skiing which contains essentials to have in your bag for a successful stay in the resort. ski.
The essentials
- Ski jacket: warm preferably, but you can also play with several layers
- Ski trousers
- Middle layer: a fleece sweater for example
- 1st layer: the one that will be close to the body. We recommend that you wear a breathable t-shirt rather than a cotton t-shirt, you will be drier and warmer 😉
- Ski socks
- Ski gloves (warm and waterproof)
- Ski helmet
- Hat or headband
- A ski mask
- Sunscreen and lip stick
- Passport and European health insurance card if you are abroad.
For all close-fitting clothing, I recommend Merino wool, it's warm, pleasant to wear and odorless! More fun for friends in the apartment!
This is the bare minimum to take, but you can complete this list for your ski trip with the following items, for more comfort:
Clothing and equipment
- Small backpack for your daytime belongings
- Sunglasses
- Different screens for your ski mask to adapt to visibility conditions
- A gourd or bottle of water (it is important to hydrate well at altitude)
- Thin gloves for après-ski
- Scarf or neck warmer (Buff type) to stay warm
- Swimsuit
- Boots or big shoes for après-ski. Preferably warm, waterproof and equipped with good crampons.
- A sports outfit with sports shoes to enjoy the Sports Center – The Board !
Protections
- Sun protection: creams, lip stick and sunglasses/ski mask
- Back protection (useful for fans of snowpark)
- Protections for wrists and knees (useful for starting snowboarding)
- The essential set consisting of an avalanche victim search device (AVD), a shovel and a telescopic probe if you plan to do avalanche backcountry skiing.
Electronic equipment
- Camera
- GoPro type on-board camera (Don't worry, if you don't have one and you are Club member Val Thorens, we'll lend you one for 24 hours for free!). If you have one, discover our tips for properly adjusting your GoPro.
- Smartphone (with the 3 Vallées mobile application)
Don't forget to take your chargers and extra batteries because they won't last as long in the cold.
Rest assured, Val Thorens it's not the end of the world: if you have forgotten anything (from the toothbrush, to the ski jacket, or even the cheese for the fondue), you will find it in theone of our businesses !
