Enjoy fresh air and nature - a family trip in winter

Especially on winter days when the sun comes out and makes the winter landscape sparkle, many families are drawn to the outdoors. There are usually many options and destinations for a day trip, especially when the weather is good. At the moment, destinations that involve exercise and letting off steam in the fresh air are particularly popular - with as few other people around as possible.

Hiking as a popular leisure activity: exercise in a winter wonderland

A popular activity for days out with the whole family is hiking in nature. Hiking has become particularly popular again in recent months, when most people are avoiding crowds as much as possible. Many families venture out even in winter and when there is snow to stretch their legs and enjoy the wonderful scenery. Whether it is walking, snowshoeing, classic hiking or, for fit winter sports enthusiasts, touring . The main thing is exercise and being outdoors. It is important to ensure that no one in the family is overwhelmed or, on the contrary, bored with the chosen route. This is the only way that everyone can enjoy the trip and the parents can also let go a little mentally and enjoy the day.

Bring the right equipment and enough provisions

However, sturdy shoes and the right clothing are a must, especially in winter. Sunscreen is also something that many people don't think about on sunny but cold winter days - but reflective snow can quickly lead to sunburn on the nose and face. You should also pack enough water (or tea in winter) and snacks to recharge your batteries in between.

A trip to the slopes

Of course, ski resorts and slopes are also among the most popular destinations for families in winter. Get the family, skis, poles, shoes, helmets and other equipment in the car and off you go. Cold temperatures are irrelevant. At least with the right clothing. But sports underwear, a warm sweater, ski pants and a jacket will keep the whole family nice and warm while skiing. The design and visual variety are also now a benefit in a women's ski jacket and are no longer neglected in men's clothing - today you can find all the colors of the rainbow and more on the slopes.

With the toboggan or sledge down the valley

This winter, even more than in previous years, many people are going to ski resorts on toboggans and sledges. They take the lift or - if there isn't one or it's not in operation - they go up the mountain and then down at breakneck speed. And they do this until their feet are tired and everyone is happy.

Off to the ice rink

If you don't like skiing or hiking, you might be better off at an ice rink - whether on an artificial rink, in a sports hall or, if it's really cold for a long period, on a frozen body of water. You don't usually have to pack as much as with the other two excursion ideas. If you don't have ice skates, you can usually rent them at the ice rink at a reasonable price. It's still a good idea to use a helmet, especially for beginners and children - the first attempts at skating can often end with a rough landing on the ground. Put on warm clothes and gloves and off you go on the ice.

A winter trip with the whole family

Many families are drawn outdoors, especially in glorious winter weather. For a change of scenery and a bit of exercise, they go on trips together into nature. The options and destinations are quite varied. Particularly popular are hikes, trips to the ice rink or to the slopes for skiing, snowboarding or sledding.
