Your tour
What this solves
Most multi-day hut tours I've seen have either (a) too much (15kg packs, beginners hauling camping gear) or (b) too little (no rain shell in July). This tool gives a defensible checklist by altitude, days and weather.
How to read
- Always at top (yours): pack, sleeping bag liner, hut slippers, earplugs, sunscreen, basic first aid.
- Hut provides: mattress, pillow, dinner, breakfast, hot drinks. Some huts rent sleeping bags (CHF 15–20).
- Weight target: pack fully loaded 8–12 kg.
Limitations
- Guided tours: the operator provides ropes, harnesses, sometimes even via ferrata sets.
- Higher altitudes may require lighter, warmer layers.
FAQ
Do I need a sleeping bag?
Sleeping bag liner (silk or cotton), yes. Most huts have blankets but expect strong body-odour and bed-bug risk without one.
