Security & safety
For a serene stay in the mountains, here are some tips for the safety of your children!
The mountains are a giant playground for experiences and memories for the whole family.
However, it is not without its dangers, and there are some things you should do to make the most of this environment.
In winter
WHAT I NEED :
- Mittens, hat, scarf, helmet and tights. Bring more in case of loss.
- A wetsuit or waterproof ski suit.
- Lightweight, warm, waterproof après-skis.
- Sunglasses and sun cream SPF 50.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
- Wear warm clothing, not forgetting my hands, head and feet.
- Moisturise my skin to protect against redness.
Drink and eat, as my body burns calories trying to keep warm. - Watch out for other skiers with my equipment.
On the slopes, take care when overtaking, control my speed, stop at the edge of the slopes and not in the middle, respect the signs and markings.
In summer
WHAT I NEED :

Sunglasses and SPF 50 sun cream. - Good walking shoes to keep up with my parents.

- Tell the people around you or the Tourist Office that you are leaving and where you are going.
- Take a map of the trails or an IGN map with you.
- Never set off alone.
