Collection: Activities

Your outdoor adventure starts with the right gear

Outdoor activities take you down new paths: hiking through the Alpine foothills, biking on gravel roads, or camping by a lake. This overview helps you get started based on your activity. That way, you can choose clothing and gear based on what you plan to do, instead of having to sort through individual product categories first.

Choose Outdoor Gear Based on Your Trip and the Season

A day hike has different requirements than spending several nights camping. For trail running, freedom of movement and minimal gear are key; for climbing, the right safety equipment and the necessary skills go hand in hand. Your mode of travel also plays a role: what you carry on your back should be planned differently than luggage for a car trip. The conditions you’ll encounter along the way and your experience with the chosen activity are crucial.

• Plan: Determine the duration, route, and terrain before creating your packing list.
• Weather: Take rain, wind, and temperature changes into account, especially in the Swiss mountains.
• Transportation: Balance weight and pack size against comfort and space requirements.
• Experience: Assess which equipment you can use on your own and where you’ll need guidance.
