“I'm going with my 6-year-old son in the Tatra Mountains. Can I enter Giewont with him? He has been dreaming about it for a long time.”
There are no contraindications to take such a trip, However, Will your son meet this task, depends on several factors.
Firstly – Is it physically functional (If parents walk in the mountains or do some sport, can be assumed, that the child is also functional).
Second important thing – Has the son ever participated in a mountain trip.
If there are no such experiences, I would not advise you to start with a difficult route.
Thirdly – An important issue is the boy's carcass. It will be much more difficult for a child to overweight uphill and other health problems will get tired faster, which I would advise you to consider, to skolioza (During the trip, the back may hurt) oraz płaskostopie. Both in the first, and in the second case I would advise you to choose shorter and less steep trails or walks on the valleys. The right footwear is important. Kid, with whom we go to the Tatra Mountains, It should have mountain shoes reaching above the ankles, not sneakers.
