What is a warmer and what is it used for?

What does a warmer look like?

A warmer is a pocket device that we use to rewarm ourselves when it’s cold. We find them in all forms and colors in shops (pharmacies, drugstores, sport stores, etc.). You put them in the gloves, in the pockets, in the shoes or under your sweater!

What is the use of a warmer?

A warmer is a device used to provide warmth in cold temperatures, particularly on the slopes during winter sports activities. It emits heat to keep your hands warm and comfortable. To activate it, you simply need to break the crystals inside the warmer and place it in your pocket. The warmth generated by the warmer can benefit your gloves and mittens, providing additional insulation against the cold. Using a warmer can greatly enhance your comfort and enjoyment while in the chilly mountain environment.

For who are warmers?

Warmers are for everyone, young and old! It doesn’t matter who likes to be a bit warm when waiting for the lifts. The mountain is beautiful in its white coat but you should think of protecting yourself well to not catch a cold.

Where to buy warmers for your ski holidays and at what price?

Stores that provide these devices

To find a warmer you don’t have to go far: in fact, they are available in pharmacies as well as in sport shops. If you don’t find them before you leave, be assured, the chance is big that you will find them in the resort’s shops!

What budget to think of?

Warmers are available in various formats, including individual packs or larger packs with multiple units. If you’re traveling in a group, it’s advisable to choose a larger pack as everyone would likely need one during your stay. Individual warmers typically range from 2 to 8 euros, while packs with multiple warmers can cost between 5 and 15 euros. When planning your next mountain trip, consider packing warmers to ensure you stay cozy and avoid discomfort from the cold. Warmers provide valuable comfort and help prevent shivering.
