The nice weather outside inspires many people to plan their next trip or weekend away. You don’t have to go far to have a great time. Switzerland has many beautiful places to offer. It’s amazing to see the sun shining at any time of year, especially in the mountains.
There are numerous routes and peaks for hiking and climbing. If you set out in a hurry early in the morning, you may forget to take with you the items you will need for a long walking tour. To avoid wasted packing next time, Blick offers a list of all the items that shouldn’t be missing from your hiking backpack.

Always have sufficient reserves!
You will need different things depending on the route and duration of the hike. With the above, you’re well equipped for a day trip. If you are planning a longer trip, you should expand the list with additional equipment according to your needs. If the trip is a little shorter, the list can easily be shortened.
It is always good to have sufficient reserves with you in any situation. You never know when you’ll get hungry or get lost and spend longer than planned. Make sure you have enough supplies and of course plenty of water.
Since weather conditions can change quickly in the mountains, you should be well prepared when it comes to clothing. When buying hiking equipment, it is useful to pay attention to weight and functionality. If the weight of the equipment is less, walking becomes easier.
