Goggles or sunglasses

Eye protection is essential because the sun's rays bounce off the bright snow, making it twice as harmful on the eyes.

Goggles are best used in snowy conditions or if travelling at speed because they give better visibility.

They cost from £10 for children's goggles, adults from £25.

Sunglasses should have full UV protection.
