Packing thoughtfully is what turns a snow trip into a comfortable, memorable experience rather than a cold endurance test

Start with clothing. Thermal innerwear forms the foundation, trapping body heat while allowing moisture to escape so you don't feel damp and chilled

Over this, insulating layers like fleece jackets or woollen sweaters add warmth without excessive bulk, making movement easier during walks

Insulated or waterproof trousers are just as important, especially if you plan to walk, play in the snow, or sit outdoors

Accessories such as woollen caps, scarves, neck warmers, and insulated gloves are small items that make a big difference, protecting exposed areas where the cold hits hardest

Waterproof boots with a strong grip help you walk safely on slippery surfaces. Pair them with thermal or woollen socks rather than cotton

Sunscreen is equally important, as sunlight reflecting off snow can cause sunburn even in freezing temperatures. Carry hand cream, tissues, and wet wipes too

Sunglasses protect your eyes from snow glare, while a sturdy backpack keeps your hands free and your belongings organised

A reusable water bottle helps you stay hydrated, and a thermos filled with something warm can be comforting during outdoor excursions

Personal medications, basic cold and cough remedies, motion sickness tablets for winding roads, and a small first-aid kit provide peace of mind if medical help is not available
