When taking your children hiking, here are a few helpful tips:
-
Be prepared to teach
Children are natural explorers and will easily be drawn to nature’s beauty. The beautiful thing about hiking is the learning experience. Be prepared to teach as you trek because you will most likely be besieged with questions. It’s a good thing- they will be learning.
-
Be prepared for anything
This goes for any hike. Whether you are with children or not, make sure you pack the 10 hiking essentials. Additional supplies include wet wipes, lip balm, binoculars, magnifying glass, camera and safety whistles for the children.
-
Dress the part
Layers and more layers. Take ample clothing with you in case your child gets cold while trekking. Always bring along rain clothes- besides rain, they also protect the body from strong winds. Hats and gloves are necessary for everyone, even during summer as it can be chilly in the mornings. Get rugged leather boots for everyone on the team. Finally, get an extra set of clothes ready for your children.
-
Make it fun!
The key to a fun family hike is to keep everybody, especially the children, motivated and excited. Organise games you can play while out on a hike. Pack along a picnic. Encourage your children on how fit and brave they are- get them engaged by appointing hike leaders in turn.
No doubt, your Tour du Mont Blanc is going to be a trip your family will never forget. We can make that happen for you, contact us for more details.
