It is therefore strongly advised not to exceed 1,200\u202fm in altitude. The risks for babies in the mountains include sleep disturbances and a drop in body temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From 3 to 6 months: up to 1,500 metres with precautions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From three months onward, you can consider a mountain stay with your baby up to 1,500\u202fm, provided you take some precautions. Since their respiratory system is still sensitive, frequent breaks and proper hydration is essential.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From 6 to 12 months: up to 1,700 m\u00e8tres with frequent rests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Between six and 12 months, your baby tolerates altitude better. However, it is still recommended that you don\u2019t exceed 1,700\u202fm and take breaks every 300 to 500m of ascent to ensure your baby\u2019s comfort.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After 12 months: up to 2,000 metres with caution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The maximum altitude for a one-year-old baby is 2,000\u202fm, but always with a gradual ascent and time to acclimatise. Babies should never ascend to maximum altitude too quickly.<br>At this stage, some parents begin considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/en\/search?cool=1&dest_linked=1&destination=0&hero=&lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>a family ski trip<\/strong><\/a>, choosing a lower-altitude resort with services tailored for young children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Premature or at-risk infants: consult a paediatrician<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Altitude can be more challenging for a baby born prematurely or with respiratory weaknesses.

To relieve it, offer a dummy or bottle, take regular breaks, keep the car well ventilated, and ensure your baby stays well hydrated in all seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ski lifts: to be avoided before the age of 3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even on a family ski trip, ski lifts are not recommended for children under three. The sudden changes in pressure can be uncomfortable and potentially dangerous for an infant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take a break every 500m of ascent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To help a baby\u2019s body adapt to altitude, it is recommended that you stop after every 300 to 500 metres of ascent. This reduces risks in the mountains, improves your baby\u2019s sleep, and makes the journey more enjoyable for the whole family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/kids-in-the-snow-enfants-dans-la-neige-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/kids-in-the-snow-enfants-dans-la-neige-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/kids-in-the-snow-enfants-dans-la-neige-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/kids-in-the-snow-enfants-dans-la-neige-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/kids-in-the-snow-enfants-dans-la-neige-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/kids-in-the-snow-enfants-dans-la-neige-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/kids-in-the-snow-enfants-dans-la-neige-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/kids-in-the-snow-enfants-dans-la-neige-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/kids-in-the-snow-enfants-dans-la-neige-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/kids-in-the-snow-enfants-dans-la-neige-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/kids-in-the-snow-enfants-dans-la-neige.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baby\u2019s health and comfort in the mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hydratation: a priority even in winter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At high altitude, the air is drier. Babies can become dehydrated quickly, even if they are not sweating. It is essential to hydrate them regularly with water or breast milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protect baby against the cold<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To protect against cold in the mountains, wrap your baby in a hat, scarf, thick socks and shoes and warm gloves. Regularly check the temperature of your baby\u2019s fingers and nose, even during a simple walk in the pushchair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dressing baby for the cold: the three-layer system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the mountains, layering clothes helps to regulate body temperature. Use the three-layer system: a breathable base layer, an insulating middle layer (fleece or wool), and a waterproof outer layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ovonetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/baby-in-the-suitcase-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Petite fille ravie en train de faire sa valise pour ses vacances d'\u00e9t\u00e9 en famille.

Using a humidifier and making sure the room is well ventilated during the day improves air quality and promotes restorative sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protect the eyes and skin from sun at altitude<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Be aware of the sun at high altitude, even on cloudy days. Intense sunlight can be harsh on a child\u2019s delicate skin. Use SPF 50+ sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and protective clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mountain activities suitable for babies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pushchair walks, outdoor plan and swimming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is plenty to keep you busy during an Alpine holiday with a baby.
