Recommended equipment and advices
Some information to remember...
Getting equipped:
Depending on the activity, the appropriate equipment will vary. In general, a winter hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are essential.
Wearing a ski helmets isn't always compulsory but it is strongly recommended, whatever slope you're sliding. However, it is compulsory for activities such as Snowboarding or Competition, as well as a back protector or other protective gear.
If you have any doubts about which skis or snowboard you should choose, please specify at the time of rental which activity you will be doing. You can also contact the esf for any further questions.
For snowshoeing or ski touring, consider triple-layer clothing: a breathable under-layer, a fleece jacket, and a windbreaker for example. You get warm quickly during the activity but you cool down quickly when you stop.
