CHILDRENSALON LOVES . . .
Hands up, who's excited to head to the slopes? For every alpine adventure, your little snow stars will need the very best kids' ski accessories. From boots and goggles to those all-important base layers, come and explore our snow and ski collections for everything they'll need and more.
The designers we love: Moncler Enfant, Moon Boot and Naturino
Ever since Moon Boot revolutionised après-ski footwear in 1969, a good pair of snow boots have become as essential to a ski holiday as the skis themselves. And today's designs blend stylish silhouettes with the kind of technical performance that actually keeps up with your children on the mountains.
What we look for in our collection are boots built to last — think hardwearing nylon uppers, leather trims that can handle the weather, and those deep-lugged rubber soles that really grip when you're all having to navigate packed snow or icy patches. Waterproof and breathable membranes work alongside cosy textile linings, like fleece and faux fur, to lock in warmth and keep those little feet properly dry, even when they're hopping about waiting for the lift. And among all our styles, these boots from Moncler Enfant are a great pick with their wrap-around laces and adjustable toggles that really make a difference. With a pair like these, your little skier can fine-tune the fit, tuck in those chunky thermal socks, and create a snug seal that keeps the snow where it belongs: outside.
The designers we love: Roarsome, Bling2o and IZIPIZI
Next up, they’ll need a quality pair of kids’ ski goggles for snowy conditions, to keep their vision clear and unobstructed. And beyond the fun designs, it's important to prioritise 100% UV protection to shield their young eyes from that intense high-altitude sun and snow glare. Choose anti-fog ski goggles for kids too as there's nothing worse than misted-up lenses when they're flying down the slopes. We've all watched our little ones stop mid-slope to wipe them clear! And here's a tip: darker lenses suit bright, sunny days, while lighter or yellow tints work best when it's looking a bit grey out there.
Comfort is key and these fun spike goggles from Bling2o have a double layer of foam around the face for a snug, pinch-free seal. The strap adjusts too, so whether they're wearing a beanie, balaclava or liner cap underneath, it all sits nicely together with their ski helmet. They also come with a protective pouch and carry case, which is worth its weight in gold when everything gets chucked in the bag between runs.
The designers we love: Playshoes, Pilguni and Deux par Deux
The answer is: yes! A good hat makes all the difference up there, and what we find works best are warm beanies or trapper styles that actually stay on when their helmet comes off. Trapper hats for children are especially brilliant because they cover the ears completely and fasten under the chin. Go for bright colours or fun patterns because when that hat inevitably ends up buried in the snow or at the bottom of their ski bag, they're so much easier to spot.
For kids’ ski gloves, we've got practical waterproof styles, plus insulated ski mittens in colours that'll match their kit nicely. Look for 3M Thinsulate™ insulation, which keeps little hands warm without adding bulk or weight that makes everything harder for them to manage. You'll notice lots of our styles have reflective trims and logos too, plus durable rubber palms for proper grip on their ski poles. And if you're heading somewhere really cold (and we mean cold), these gloves from Deux par Deux are part of their TEKNIK high-performance range. They have adjustable wrist straps and can handle temperatures down to -30°C. Brrr!
The designers we love: Joha, Roarsome and Smalls Merino
A chilly day on the mountain can quickly go from fun, fun, fun to "can we please go back now?". And nobody wants that. Now's the time to tuck a few cosy thermal bits into their case and we've got just the thing.
Thermal accessories for children come in both natural and synthetic fabrics, and they're perfect for layering under a ski kit when they need that extra bit of warmth. Our collection includes everything from kids’ balaclavas and knitted neck warmers to thermal socks and snoods. They're lightweight, they don't take up much room in the bag, and they make such a difference to their comfort levels. Balaclavas, made in Merino wool and brushed jersey, are brilliant because they cover the neck, face and head in one piece, unlike scarves that come loose or need constant adjusting. We also love these warm ski socks for kids from Falke, available in three colour options. Regular socks can get damp from sweat or snow sneaking in, but these wick moisture away and give extra cushioning inside their boot. Your little one's feet will thank you.
