    You may not know that children are very susceptible to altitude.
     - If your children have a cold and have blocked sinuses avoid taking them up on lift.
     - Children under 3 should not go above 2000m (specifically this means you should not take them up the second part of the Aiguille du Midi lift.)
     - Children 3-12  can go higher, but avoid  lots of physical activity.
