What to wear when skiing in switzerland? |
Travel Info I am going for a ski trip in Switzerland in January.Does anybody know what is important to wear there so that I don't get cold and frost bite?I'm in UK, so if anyone knows where to get the cheap stuff? Travel Tips January is not the warmest month for skiing, but if there's sun you'll be quite warm when skiing. I assume you're a beginner so ideally you'll be looking for a 1 piece ski outfit (you'll be spending some time sitting in the snow I think) although it is fashionable now to have a 2 piece (waterproof trousers and anorak). You'll definitely need waterproof gloves or fine gloves inside waterproof mittens, good thick socks and a skihat - any shape size or colour, just make sure you can cover your ears with it if necessary. Warm woolen stockings to wear underneath and a fine vest and roll neck jumper. If you're into snowboarding (a 1 piece is a definite no no - so uncool!). They sell special trousers which are reinforced around the bum, back and knees. Cannot help with the cheapest retailers - I live in Switzerland where it's all pretty expensive. Suggest you look around as soon as possible though as it will be hard to find anything decent within a few weeks. People usually buy very early in the season. Good luck. Have a lovely time. Others TKMax will kit you out completely and at cheap prices............ |
