To make sure you are well prepared for this skiing magic, we have put together 7 tips on how you can best prepare for your skiing adventure. Have fun reading and trying it out!

1st tip for ski preparation: check equipment for heart and “edges”

Before the ski season starts, a thorough check of your equipment is essential. Check whether your skis need a wax service and whether the bindings still fit your current weight perfectly. Correctly adjusted bindings can be crucial in the event of a fall. Don’t forget to check the functionality of your ski boots and poles too – a secure footing on skis starts with well-maintained equipment.

2. Tip for ski preparation: Protection from head to back

A well-fitting helmet and a back protector are essential for your safety on the slopes. A suitable balaclava under the helmet offers additional comfort and protection from the cold. Seek expert advice to find the best fit for your safety equipment.

3. Tip for ski preparation: The right ski suit makes all the difference

Your ski suit should not only be warm and comfortable, but also breathable and waterproof. Regular waterproofing keeps the material performing well. Waterproof gloves and high-quality ski socks that prevent pressure points ensure optimum comfort on the slopes.

4. Tip for ski preparation: The alpine sun also has power in winter

The intensity of the sun in the mountains is often underestimated. Protect your eyes with UV protection goggles that do not fog up and offer lateral protection. The combination of sunglasses and ski goggles should be matched to your helmet to ensure maximum protection and comfort. Also use a high-quality sunscreen as well as cold protection for the face and a greasy lip protector to prevent chapping and dryness.

5. Tip for ski preparation: Fit for the slopes

A good physical condition not only increases your fun on skis, but also reduces the risk of injury. Start early with targeted ski gymnastics and endurance training. A well-prepared body is the best protection against the dreaded sore muscles. Here are 3 tried and tested exercises to strengthen your “ski muscles”:

• Forearm support:
  Support yourself on your forearms and toes, keeping your body in a straight line and your stomach tight. Hold this position for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Squats:
  Squat down with your feet shoulder-width apart and slowly stand up again. Repeat the exercise 10-15 times per set.
• Lunges:
  Take a large step forward and bend both knees until the back knee almost touches the floor, then return to the starting position. Perform 10 repetitions per leg.

6. Tip for ski preparation: Hire ski equipment cleverly

If you are planning to hire ski equipment, contact the ski rental shop in good time. Modern, well-maintained skis and well-fitting ski boots increase your skiing pleasure and reduce your luggage. Bear in mind that your feet may swell during the course of the day – so it is best to try out your ski boots in the late afternoon. Be enchanted by the picturesque backdrop of the Wilder Kaiser and enjoy the winter season to the full. At Appartement Haus Bergland in Söll, we are proud to be part of your winter adventures and look forward to welcoming you to one of our luxury holiday apartments soon. Prepare yourself well with our tips and experience skiing pleasure as it should be!
