STARTERS, MAIN COURSES AND WINTER SPORTS
A good diet is essential in the mountains. The combination of the altitude and the cold require a higher calorie intake. It is therefore essential that you feed yourself well.
Start off with a solid breakfast. Bread, butter, jam, cereals, fruit... don’t hesitate to fill up on calories. You should eat a large, varied breakfast.
At lunchtime, take a good break in one of the high altitude restaurants and recharge your batteries with starchy food that has a high energy value (rice, pasta etc.).
And even if you are tempted by the blackcurrant tart or the cake, don’t fill yourself up too much.
It’s fine to keep snacking throughout the day, on things like cereal bars or dried fruit, whenever you get the urge...
Remember, skiing burns up a lot of calories!
Finally, don’t forget to drink (water!) as like any other sport, you will get dehydrated!
