Crown Princess Mary and her four children hit the slopes in Switzerland on the weekend for the family’s annual ski trip.

Prince Christian, eight, Princess Isabella, six, and three-year-old twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, were spotted enjoying a spot of tobogganing and skiing with their parents in the snow in Verbier, Switzerland.

The chilly climate did nothing to cool the Danish royal’s fun. The 42-year-old Princess was snapped laughing and smiling as she scooted down the slopes with one of her youngest, Princess Josephine. The mother and daughter were enjoying a bit of friendly competition with Frederik and Vincent, who raced on a toboggan of their own.

The couple’s eldest children Christian and Isabella chose to show off their skiing skills and shredded solo under the watchful eyes of their parents.

Earlier in the week the sextet graciously posed in a series of relaxed images in a charming alpine restaurant in the Swiss resort town.

Verbier has become an annual vacation spot for Frederik’s family, as well as that of other royals and celebrities including Princes William and Harry and the Beckham family.

Mary and Frederik are not the only members of the Danish royal family currently enjoying a winter holiday. Frederik’s younger brother, Prince Joachim and his wife Princess Marie are also in Switzerland with their brood.
