Can my seven-year-old handle the ski tour?

Children are often more capable than we think, but for them to enjoy and endure the trip, it needs to be on their terms. Make the journey an adventure—take frequent breaks to play in the snow, look for reindeer, and have a snack. It’s a good idea to take your child on a longer ski trip at home first to see how they manage.

For younger children, a sled can be a great option, and child sleds are available for rent at Storulvån. Another helpful tip is to bring a tow rope to assist your child when the terrain gets tough. It can be attached to their backpack or a harness, and using climbing skins can be beneficial. Also, keep in mind that children experience cold differently than adults.
