Sierra Nevada is the perfect destination for a family winter holiday. For this reason, we would like to give you some tips for enjoying the snow with the little ones, especially if it is the first time they are skiing.
What clothes should they wear? At what age should they start learning? Is it better to teach them myself or hire a ski school?
The main thing: make sure they have fun! The thought of going with children to spend a few days in the snow may seem, at first, a bit chaotic. However, it is easy and fun if we follow a series of recommendations.
At what age should children learn to ski?
First of all, we recommend waiting until the child is at least 3 years old before their first contact with the snow. At that age children begin to have a certain independence and to control their own movements and we believe that it is a good time to enjoy the snow.
Skiing is a fun, family sport, passed down from parents to children and is becoming more and more popular every day. That’s why we recommend that before going skiing, you talk to them about the sport at home, using videos and books so that they know what they are going to do before they get to the resort. Pass on your passion for skiing to them!
Comfortable, warm and safe
When going to the snow and practising a sport like skiing, equipment is very important. For this we must avoid that children feel cold or have sore feet, to prevent them from having a bad experience and not wanting to go skiing again. From Blanca Nieve we recommend to dress the child with three layers and do not forget to wear a helmet, which will not only protect him/her, but will also keep him/her warm.
The first steps in skiing for children should always be with a specialised and expert person and in a safe area. Moreover, they will learn from the very beginning in the correct way and from professionals who are used to dealing with children and who make ski lessons fun and enjoyable.
When skiing with children we must adapt to their pace and not try to get them to go down slopes beyond their level, we must let them gradually gain confidence and experience. Finally, remember to always take a drink to hydrate them and some snacks and fruit to give them energy.
If they still don’t know how to ski, don’t worry, we will teach them with our ski school while you enjoy the snow, fun classes that will allow them to learn to ski while having fun.
