Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
» The sun is powerful in the Alps and is intensi-
fied by snow glare. Wear ski goggles and high-
factor sunscreen.
» Layers help you to adapt to the constant
change in body temperature. Your head, wrists
and knees should be protected.
» Black run look tempting? Make sure you're
properly insured first; sky-high mountain rescue
and medical costs can add insult to injury.
