Are you planning to go trekking with children and babies <\/strong>, and are you always afraid of forgetting something important?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don't worry - we are here for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a small list of tips and tricks to follow to enjoy your day of baby trekking without worries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The route<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Choose a short and easy route, if possible one that you already know well, in order to avoid as far as possible unforeseen incidents or finding yourself halfway with your child too tired to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you are planning an outing to a place that you do not know, inform yourself very well: how long is it? What is the difference in altitude? Are the shelters close enough and provided in case of need?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Supplies<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Bring lots of different snacks (fresh fruit, dried fruit, carbohydrates and sugary foods) and especially lots and lots of water: better to have extra to put back in the larder than to need it and not be supplied!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Preparation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        While you are preparing your rucksack and clothing, actively involve your child as well: this way he will not only learn the importance of being well prepared from the start, but he will also know what you have brought, in case he needs anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. The weather<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          If you can, try to avoid not only bad weather days, but also those that are too hot or too cold, to avoid the risk of illness or unforeseen health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Clothing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            This is a golden rule that applies to everyone, in every season: always dress in layers! Even if the weather forecasts clear skies and bright sunshine, it can always change from one moment to the next - and in the mountains there is never a shortage of light, fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Don't forget to bring several changes of all your clothes: whether they are simply sweaty or dirty or wet, it is always best to change them as soon as you take a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. First Aid<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              With all their curiosity and energy, children are always ready to run hither and thither to explore anything that catches their eye - exposing themselves to the risk of falls, small wounds or stinging plants. It is always a good idea to carry a small basic first aid kit with you for just such eventualities, with plasters, sterile gauze, disinfectant, tweezers and soothing ointmen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. The sun<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                As we already know, the sun is stronger in the mountains than at lower altitudes: it is essential that the child (the adult too, actually!) always wears a hat or bandana to cover his or her head, and that he or she wears sunscreen (to be reapplied every two hours to the whole body).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. The whistle<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  If you want to be even more foresighted, leave your child a backpack or small pouch with a whistle inside: he will need it in case he wanders off <\/strong>and you get lost, to be sounded to guide the group to where he is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  1. What if it is a newborn baby?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    Again, only a few small steps are needed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
