Article - Hiking In Switzerland And Equipment Needed

What to take with you on a hiking trip to Switzerland, like many other countries, will depend on the type of hiker you are and how prepared you want to be. The type of walking you want to undertake will also influence what you take. Are you going to be at high altitude or will you stick to low level walking? Also, what time of year you go will affect your equipment list as the weather will be different. Are you backpacking through several locations or are you just using a single base from which you do day hikes? Will you be camping out or staying in accommodation?

There are many factors that determine your hiking equipment list but the ultimate decision is a personal one. However, there are some items of equipment that you need to pay particular attention to.
