Packing list
♡Flashlight or headlamp
♡We recommend weather-appropriate clothing, good footwear, sunglasses and sunscreen, possibly rain gear and a backpack.
Note : Even in summer, cold nights can occur. Warm socks and a hat or headband for sleeping work wonders!
♡Necessaire and pharmacy for personal needs
♡Power bank for all occasions
♡Drinks and food
Note : Outside of the opening hours of the Chämistube mountain restaurant, there is no drinking water available. It is best to fill your water bottles at the

Please note that you're at an altitude of approximately 1,600 meters above sea level, and it can get chilly at any time of year. The weather can change quickly in the mountains, and thunderstorms are occasionally possible. We therefore recommend packing an extra sweater and a pair of warm socks—true to the motto "always take off."
