Spending the whole day in the snow and having fun sledding, snowboarding or skiing – your kids will quickly start to sweat.

Functional ski clothing is particularly important for children because it offers breathability, freedom of movement and additional thermoregulating properties that keep your little winter sports enthusiasts comfortably warm even in sub-zero temperatures.

Right at the top of the packing list for a winter holiday with children: a functional ski jacket. Whether for girls, boys or babies - a high-quality ski jacket keeps you warm, is windproof and waterproof and at the same time offers so much comfort that the kids can move around freely in the jacket.

This way, your kids won't get cold while out and about and skiing and snowboarding will be even more fun.

Ski jackets for boys and girls have a multi-layer construction. This ensures that moisture can escape from the inside of the jacket, while cold and wetness are reliably kept out from the outside.

Some models are filled with down feathers for extra warmth. Popular ski jackets from BOGNER also impress with sophisticated extras: Welded seams, ski pass compartment, zipper with anti-pinch protection or a snow guard with integrated fastening system offer your kids unbeatable comfort on the slopes.

With all the additional functions, it is important to remember that the style factor should not be neglected. Designer brands such as KJUS or Colmar Their ski jackets are the perfect combination of functionality and style: popular are color blocking in the trendy colors red, blue and white or extravagant prints with floral patterns. By the way: in a colorful ski outfit, you won't lose sight of your kids even in the hustle and bustle of the slopes.

DISCOVER OUTFITS

When your child is on skis or a snowboard for the first time, they often end up on their bottom in deep snow. This is why many designer ski pants for boys and girls are not only provided with a special coating, but are also reinforced in the seat and knee area. After all, double protection against wetness and cold is particularly important for such heavily used parts of the body.

The ski pants favorite for small kids: dungarees with suspenders. No wonder, since they are so easy to slip into and even during the wildest snowball fight, snow can't get in anywhere. Models for smaller kids are particularly impressive when it comes to colors: neon or pastel colors have been trendy for years.

Older children prefer plain-colored ski pants without suspenders. A snow guard on the waistband ensures that no snow can get in even in the event of minor falls during the descent.

Clever extras such as zipped trouser pockets, belt loops or integrated belts as well as zipped leg ends guarantee even more comfort.

Whether big or small, experienced winter sports enthusiasts always wear several functional layers of clothing on top of each other. This also applies to kids: while the ski jacket and ski pants are the outermost layers that protect against wind, cold and wetness, the so-called midlayer serves as a warming intermediate layer.

Ski fashion for children offers a large selection of functional midlayers. Sporty designer brands are particularly keen to develop sweaters and fleece jackets made from innovative functional fibres: these store body heat optimally and at the same time guarantee maximum breathability.

A fleece sweater from ODLO With a zipper as a half-zip does even more: By opening the zipper, your child can provide additional ventilation. Thanks to the stand-up collar, the neck and throat are also warmed.

Functional ski underwear is often referred to as a base layer - after all, underwear forms the basis of a child's ski outfit. It should therefore be comfortable, quick-drying, breathable and feel pleasant on the skin.

Functional underwear is therefore usually made of synthetic fiber or wool. Merino wool in particular guarantees a first-class wearing comfort, absorbs a lot of moisture from the skin and stores the body temperature excellently.

Whether it's a ski outfit for girls or boys - when it comes to functional underwear for skiing, designers like to keep it simple and classic. But a few sophisticated accents are a must.

Typical examples are attractive decorative seams in contrasting colors, detailed logo patches or pattern prints. Additional tip: Ski underwear should ideally fit tightly - this way, multi-layered ski outfits do not create wrinkles that pinch when playing in the snow.

What do children need on a ski holiday? A packing list will help you to ensure that you have the right outfit for the slopes and don't forget anything important. This way you can ensure that your ski wardrobe is complete before you set off for Kitzbühel or Davos and you can coordinate the individual items perfectly in terms of style and colour.

The packing list for a ski holiday with children includes:

• Ski equipment:
  • skis, ski boots and ski poles
  • ski helmet
  • Gloves (or a second pair if the first pair is wet.)
  • sunglasses or ski goggles
• The right ski clothing:
  • ski jacket and pants
  • Sweaters or fleece jackets as midlayers
  • ski underwear and socks
  • scarf or loop
  • wool or knitted hat
  • Sturdy shoes and winter boots
• wind and weather cream
• Sunscreen (don't underestimate the sun when it's snowing in the mountains!)

Is your child experiencing their first winter holiday in Gstaad in Switzerland this year or is they travelling with you to Courchevel in France?

For winter holidays with baby, you should choose the warm clothing especially carefully: A set of Moncler consisting of trousers and jacket offers your offspring exactly the premium comfort that you desire.

In contrast to the classic snowsuit, the trousers and jacket can also be worn separately. Snowsuits for babies are much more compact as one-pieces: snow and cold don't stand a chance here - even if the first attempts at walking in the snow are still a little difficult.

Particularly recommended: baby snow jackets lined with down. They keep you warm even in the lowest temperatures and are therefore the perfect companion for your baby's first snow adventures.

Alternatively, lined snow jackets, pants and suits made of synthetic fibers are ideal - preferably with cute details such as faux fur collars or removable gloves and shoes.

This means that the packing list for a winter holiday with a baby is almost complete: Because warm bodysuits and rompers Tights and tops should of course not be missing from the checklist for a winter holiday with a baby.

Do you have the right outfit and the right equipment? Find out what else you need to consider for a winter or ski holiday with children here:

When choosing a ski resort, make sure it is family-friendly. Smaller ski resorts not only have more charm and authenticity, but often also offer individual childcare and family- and child-friendly accommodation.

In principle, it is always a good idea to wear a helmet when skiing to protect yourself from head injuries. In some ski areas, helmets are even compulsory for your children. For example, children under 15 in Styria and Carinthia are only allowed to ski and toboggan with a helmet.

And in Italy, children up to the age of 14 are required to wear a helmet. It is best to find out before your holiday which countries and regions require a helmet.

A special highlight is a children's park or children's land. There, the kids are looked after by ski instructors all day long in their own area - in addition to children's slopes and practice areas, there are often winter playgrounds, carousels and other attractions.

Especially if you haven't been skiing for very long, it can easily be forgotten: you and your children need ski passes for the piste adventure. Some ski resorts and accommodations already include the passes in their packages. There are often free ski passes or other discounts for children up to 6 years of age.

Skiing is action-packed and fun - but it's also pretty exhausting. Treat yourself and the children to a quiet day every now and then, where you can share the experiences and relax.

Go to the swimming pool to warm up, explore the countryside together or visit a child-friendly museum. The next day, the kids can hit the slopes full of energy.
