Packing for a ski trip sounds simple, but there’s nothing worse than forgetting something essential or overpacking with unnecessary items. Want to hit the slopes stress-free? With this complete packing list, you’ll be ready for anything—from icy winds to unexpected sunny days. Think waterproof clothing, handy gadgets, and a reliable power source—so you can fully focus on enjoying the snow.
Clothing: Prioritize Comfort and Functionality
Skiing is all about layering. Make sure you’re dressed warmly while staying flexible.
- Thermal underwear: Choose breathable materials that wick away moisture.
- Ski socks: At least three pairs with good insulation and a comfortable fit.
- Ski or snowboard pants: Waterproof and designed for ease of movement.
- Ski jacket: Lightweight, breathable, and wind- and snow-resistant.
- Gloves or mittens: Waterproof and insulated for extra warmth.
- Scarf, buff, or neck warmer: For added protection against the cold.
- Ski goggles: Essential for clear vision in bright sunlight or snow.
- Sunglasses: For sunny moments on the slopes or at the terrace.
- Hat or helmet: Certainly for the last; safety and warmth in one.
Ski Gear: Rent or Bring Your Own?
Depending on your preference, you can choose to rent or bring your ski equipment. It will involve the following items:
- Skis or snowboard
- Ski poles
- Ski or snowboard boots
- Helmet (safety first!)
Toiletries: Compact and Complete
You’ll want to stay fresh and comfortable, on the slopes as well as during après-ski. Pack a compact toiletry bag with the following essentials:
- Sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)
- Lip balm with UV protection
- Travel-sized shower gel and shampoo
- Toothbrush and toothpaste
- Medications or band-aids (for minor mishaps).

- Action camera: Capture your adventures, but don’t forget extra batteries.
- Portable speaker: Great for unwinding at the chalet after a day of skiing.
- Smartphone: Of course, you’ll bring your smartphone, but remember to use a protective case to guard it against cold and moisture.
